“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.
