Former tennis star Jelena Dokic shows off insane body transformation with racy snap

Former tennis star Jelena Dokic has lost an incredible 45kg since October and now, she’s flaunting her epic transformation while on holiday.

The 36-year-old, who retired in 2014, struggled with her weight as she used food as a coping mechanism, reaching close to 120kg at her heaviest.

But despite the setback, the former world No. 4 changed her lifestyle around and lost a whopping 38kg using the Jenny Craig program.

Now, as she soaks in the sun in Croatia, Dokic is celebrating her success by sharing bikini snaps on her Instagram.

Wearing a white bikini and standing in front of an ocean pool, Dokic unveiled her healthy figure to her 23,000 followers.

“Another beautiful summer morning in Croatia and I am in full vacation mode.

“Morning swims are the best,” she captioned the photograph.

Despite being on holiday, Dokic refuses to ease up on her fitness routine as she shared a gym selfie before boarding her flight to Europe last month.

Earlier in the year, Dokic revealed the toll her weight gain had on her, as she aimed to come down to 64kg from 76kg.

Posting a photo on Instagram showing off her before and after body transformation, the Australian wrote that she turned down job opportunities due to feeling insecure.

“The photo on the left and the start of my weight loss journey is a hard one to post and look at,” said Dokic.

“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.”

She added: “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.

“While I don’t want to talk about the kilos too much, I have lost almost 20 kilos between the second and third picture alone.

“I hope I can inspire and motivate you all. No matter what you are trying to achieve, it can be done.

“I am halfway on my weight-loss journey and very excited about what is ahead.”
