Jelena Dokic to play Moorilla Hobart International

Jelena Dokic

Jelena Dokic will warm-up for the 2010 Australian Open, hopefully equally successful for her as the last one, at the January 8-16 Moorilla Hobart International.

At the 2009 Australian Open the former world No.4 reached the quarterfinals as a wildcard and 187th-ranked player, defeating three seeded players on the way. Since that unprecedented success Dokic hasn't made such major headlines concerning her on-court results, but she did win two ITF tournaments, in Athens (Greece) in September and Poitiers (France) in October.

    LuLinQa, hahah thanks for telling me. I guess time passes quickly for me. :P

    As good a player as Dokic is, I don't think she will repeat that great run she had this year. I hope she does, but the likelihood is that she won't. It's a shame because her ranking will really suffer if that does happen.

    like for everybody Marija :) Can I ask you where are you from ? Cause your name sounds like Russian or Serbian :)

  5. Marija on November 28th, 2009

    Bróna, quite possible, such surprises don't happen all the time.

    LuLinQa, of course you can ask. Yes, I'm from Novi Sad, Serbia. You can see more info about me here: http://www.womenstennisblog.com/about/

    I hope she does well.I love surprises :0) I think new motivation can help her go places in 2010. Maybe even a major… who knows. Kim did it and only few would predict that, wouldn't they?

    I am amazed how nice site you are making :) I thought you have some colleagues :) I am from Slovakia like Dominika Cibulkova :) and I was wondering why you put Ana´s and JJ´s signed photos for the competition :)

    Marine, we all love surprises, and you know why, because they don't happen often. :) I would be thrilled for Dokic to win a major in 2010, but I don't think that's likely.

    LuLinQa, thank you very much. I'm the only one in charge of this site. I was in Bratislava for a few hours this spring. :) I put the autographs for competition because I had them and wanted to make my readers happy. I will have more things to give away in the future, much more valuable. Stay tuned. ;)

    I hope you'll visit Serbia at some point. ;)

    I want to know , if you can write about dokic's dress (lacoste), were can I bought it, or whatever you know about it… thanks ¡¡:).

  12. Marija on January 21st, 2010

    Marina Moreno, I won't write about Dokic's dress only because she's already out of the tournament. Hm, I was trying to find the dress online, but couldn't. All I found was this http://shopapparel.lacoste.com/b/Women-Shop-by-Category-Tennis/492234011/page/-1/sort/-launch-date

    Can anyone else help?
