Former world number four Jelena Dokic has revealed that she is feeling better after suffering a freakish eye injury during the 2024 Australian Grand Prix.

The 40-year-old, who retired from the sport back in 2014, in a post on his official account on the social media platform Instagram, updated that she is feeling better after the injury.

“A quick little wrap up of the Formula 1 @ausgp weekend with @mercedesbenzau at their amazing AMG lounge,” she wrote. “Thank you @mercedesbenzau for having me. Had a blast. And for all those asking, my eye is all good. I am fine. Thank you for all the lovely messages.”

Dokic, after retiring from the sport a decade back, worked with Tennis Australia in the media department. She finished her career after winning six WTA titles. However, her record while playing in the major tournaments did not make a pretty readying.

Dokic’s most impressive outing while playing at a Grand Slam came in the year 2000 where she played in the semifinal at Wimbledon and lost to the former world number one Lindsay Davenport with a score of 6-4, 6-2.

In the doubles category, she played in the final of the French Open back in 2001 where she and her partner Spain’s Conchita Martínez lost to the pair of Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-1.
