The 50-year-old Dokic was arrested in May after reportedly saying he would blow up Australian ambassador Claire Birgin’s car over the negative articles in the Australian press in which Jelena Dokic accused him of beating her. Upon his arrest, police also found large quantities of weapons in Dokic’s home.
Dokic was then charged with “endangering the security” of the Australian ambassador and unlawful possession of weapons. His 15-month sentence was confirmed in a retrial that was held after an appeal.
The official Tanjug news agency reported that Dokic was angered by a six-month suspended sentence handed this week in a similar case against a nationalist who had threatened a liberal politician and a journalist.
Dokic had threatened to fire a rocket at Birgin’s car, but later said the statements were made in anger. He has also admitted having beaten his daughter.
That’s right, Damir Dokic, currently ranked number one on the WTA’s Overall Crazy Father Rankings, isn’t too pleased that he was ordered to serve a 15-month prison sentence for threatening to fire a rocket at the Australian Ambassador to Serbia’s automobile.
In fact, he feels so wronged that he has begun a hunger strike to protest the unfortunate situation of being sentenced to prison for making terroristic threats – crazy, huh?
Papa Dokic initiated the alleged plot after an article in an Australian newspaper reported that Jelena accused him of repeatedly beating her. Damir Dokic’s attorney is now concerned about his client’s"She hopes for wildcards in Australia. She wants to be in the Australian Open. She will try to qualify if she has to.
"She has been injured but she is not giving up and she is not going to be a wife. She wants to be successful again in her tennis and she will be."
Jelena, the Belgrade-born product of the Australian tennis system who reached the world No.4 ranking before fleeing the country after a supposedly rigged Australian Open draw in 2001, qualified for the 2006 event in Melbourne through the wildcard play-off system.
I hear they're getting ready to film "Mission: Impossible 3" with Tom Cruise (one of Jelena Dokic's favorite actors, according to her WTA bio). Thing is, the truly "impossible" task might be locating Jelena's career.
Check that... simply finding Jelena at all might be just as difficult a task. On the heels of some of the oddest circumstances of her career (and that's saying something) -- being a literal no-show at three Challenger events over the past few weeks -- it's quite reasonable to ask, "Where in the world is Jelena Dokic?" Is she injured? Is she kicking up her feet on a beach somewhere, blocking out the world while applying an extra coat of sunblock? Is she still interested at all? Heck, is she even visible to the human eye? She's been absent from the WTA tour since May (at a Tier IV in Prague), and has seemingly been going incognito on the entire continent of Europe this summer and early fall.
Seriously, what happened to the Fair One? Remember when Jelena could be referred to as that with either a straight face, or without a wistful recollection of what used to be (but, unfortunately, may never be again)? You know, back when Jelena Corner was a weekly feature on JD.com and the Fair One herself had an actual presence on tour. 2005 began as the last few seasons had, with the general consensus being that the upcoming year HAD to be better than the previous one. How could it NOT be, after 2004 ended with nine consecutive losses?
Ha! What did we all know? It appears as if the continuing demise of the player formerly known as Jelena Dokic is nowhere near it's end... unless the end is ALREADY here. And, yes, I'm talking about THE END. Of course, we won't know for sure until Jelena actually returns... IF she ever does, that is.
DAMIR Dokic has huffed, puffed and blown down rumours that his tennis-playing daughter Jelena is getting married or has been been left "desperate and penniless" by her Croatian boyfriend Tin Bikic.
The maddest tennis dad of them all says the world No.615 is training at a camp in Germany before her likely return to Australia to compete this summer. He's also still keen to appear on Dancing With The Stars. "No, no marriage, I know this," Damir told The Sun-Herald from his home in Serbia.
"She is not getting married. She is playing tennis in Germany and wants to go back to Australia to play.
Brisbane, Jan 5 : Ana Ivanovic won her first match since mid-August as the Serb defeated Australian Jelena Dokic 7-5, 1-6, 6-3 Monday to start with a welcome victory at the Brisbane International.
Ivanovic, a former French Open champion who briefly stood number one in the world after that 2008 triumph on clay, thwarted the hopes of the host nation and 2009 Australian Open quarter-finalist Dokic.
Like Ivanovic, the Serb-born Dokic had suffered through a poor 2009, fighting off injury and illness for much of the year.
Jelena Dokić is an Australian female professional tennis player.
During the height of her career, she played for Serbia and Montenegro (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia prior to February 2003) and reached a career-high ranking of World No. 4 on 19 August 2002. After several family-related difficulties (mostly involving her father), she slowly slipped down the rankings in 2006. She made a serious return to tennis in 2008, and after winning three ITF tournaments that year, rose to World No. 187 going into the 2009 Australian Open. She finished 2009 in the top 100, where she remains today. The highlights of Dokić's career include reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon and the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and reaching the quarterfinals at the French Open in 2002 and the Australian Open in 2009. Other highlights include beating several former World No. 1 players: Martina Hingis in the first round of Wimbledon in 1999, Kim Clijsters at the 2003 Zürich Open, and Venus Williams at the 2000 Italian Open. Other high-calibre players whom Dokić has defeated include Jelena Janković, Monica Seles, Justine Henin, Amélie Mauresmo, Mary Pierce, and Jennifer Capriati
