Ex-Tennis star Jelena Dokic stuns in tiny bikini following dramatic weight loss after ballooning to nearly 19st

FORMER Australian tennis star Jelena Dokic has shared bikini snaps that reveals her incredible weight-loss transformation.

The 36-year-old former Wimbledon semi-finalist has spoken publicly about her weight troubles and hit 19 stone on the scales at her heaviest.

Dokic put on the weight when injury forced her into an early retirement in 2014.

But she has bounced back remarkably and stunned after uploading pictures of her holiday to Croatia.

Soaking up the sunshine, Dokic uploaded a series of pictures flaunting her incredible figure.

Her transformation from 11-months ago is astonishing as she is seen looking out to sea while wearing a T-shirt and bikini bottoms.

Another picture saw her wearing a pink bikini alongside the caption: “Sunshine state of mind…”

Dokic, who reached No4 in the world rankings, has reportedly lost around nine stone in 11 months through a series of strict dieting and regular exercise.

In March, she had lost around seven after comparing pictures of herself at her “unhappiest”.

She had previously said: “I was unhealthy and unfit but even more importantly I was so unhappy, with no confidence.

“I didn’t want to go out of the house and I even turned down work opportunities because I was so insecure and unhappy.

“It’s not just about weight loss either but about having a healthy and balanced lifestyle and developing healthy but sustainable habits for the rest of your life.”

Dokic – who is engaged to boyfriend of 15 years Tim Bikic – revealed last year that she had “suicidal thoughts” after being abused by her dad as a child.

The 2000 Wimbledon semi-finalist lifted the lid on her early years in her autobiography, where she claimed her father would whip her with a belt if she failed on court.
