Jelena Dokic has stunned fans as she appeared slimmer than ever before in a photo of herself posing casually in pyjamas while on holiday.<\/p>\n

The retired tennis great, 42, has publicly chronicled her weight loss journey after shedding about 20 kilos through diet and lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n

She credits her success to a healthy diet and an exercise regimen, which includes working out at the gym at 6am while working 18-hour days.<\/p>\n

Dokic took to Instagram on Sunday to showcase her trimmed-down figure in a pastel blue robe on a getaway in her home country of Croatia.<\/p>\n

In her photo, Jelena looked cheerful and relaxed, wearing white hotel slippers and holding a cup of tea as she basked in the sun’s rays.<\/p>\n

Her hair was gathered loosely in a bun, complementing her natural makeup-free look, and she took to the caption with a heart-warming note.<\/p>\n

“Slow mornings are the best,” Dokic wrote alongside an emoji of tea, the sun and a smiling face with hearts.<\/p>\n

Fans flooded the comments to say Jelena looked great on her well-deserved getaway following commentating on the Wimbledon tennis tournament, where she reached the semifinals at 16 years old in 2000.<\/p>\n

“Look at you. What a beautiful transformation, body and soul. Enjoy beautiful lady,” one fan wrote.<\/p>\n

“Wow! Jelena, you look amazing! You are back into your figure when you were playing tennis,” another person said.<\/p>\n

One more fan who was in awe of Dokic’s physical transformation said: “How did you lose so much weight? You look amazing”.<\/p>\n

A third fan said the Aussie star looked gorgeous in her photo, adding, “It\u2019s good to slow down…love Croatia.”<\/p>\n

“Such an inspirational lady,” another person added.<\/p>\n

A sixth pointed out how “happy, content and peaceful” Jelena appeared.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m so inspired by your life experiences and the way you\u2019ve dig deep to overcome the pain and suffering,” they said.<\/p>\n

The beloved tennis star, who retired from professional tennis in 2014, was\u00a0nominated for her first-ever Logie award for the Channel 9 documentary Unbreakable<\/a>, about her turbulent life on and off the court.<\/p>\n

In the documentary, Dokic harrowingly detailed her father and coach Damir Dokic\u2019s alleged physical, emotional and financial abuse, allegedly occurring regularly throughout her childhood and professional career.<\/p>\n

Jelena ultimately cut ties with her father before his death in May and completely rebooted her career.<\/p>\n

In 2009, she enjoyed an unforgettable run at the Australian Open after entering the draw as a wildcard and advancing to the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Following her retirement, her career continued as a highly sought-after commentator for all four Grand Slams on Channel Nine.<\/p>\n

Jelena’s love life also took off with her whirlwind career off the court.<\/p>\n

She went public with her new boyfriend Yane Veselinov earlier this month<\/a> following weeks of speculation about who the mystery man was.<\/p>\n

Dokic took to Instagram to reveal the identity of her new beau just weeks after SkyNews.com.au published bombshell footage of the pair getting cosy at Melbourne Airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Jelena<\/p>\n

“You are my calm, safe, peaceful and happy place. So glad I found you,” Dokic wrote alongside a romantic snap with her new partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yane is a hospitality operations manager who on Instagram describes himself as a “food and wine enthusiast, pleasure seeker and life enjoyer”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It comes after Dokic split from her previous partner, Bukic, in late 2022 after an almost two-decade-long relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jelena Dokic has stunned fans as she appeared slimmer than ever before in a photo of herself posing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,11776,85,747],"class_list":["post-9984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-jelena-dokic","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
