SPECIAL ARCHIVE OF NEWS ABOUT TENNIS AND JELENA DOKIC FOR SECOND PART OF 2001 INCLUDING SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER.

Wednesday 07 November. 2001- Time to get some rest

By Ljubisa Bojic

Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia will not play in  Pattaya, Thailand as she decided to take a break after every week of play since Wimbledon. Reportedly she will spent her vacation in Serbian capital city Belgrade where she has a house. Dokic said that she will not play Australian open because Australia is far away. Because lack of time I would not be able to report every day. Therefore please go to message board for latest news and updates as I shall try to post some there. E-mail me if message board does not work. Tank's to Ibrahim Acikgoz who is new video creator of DokicJelena.com. Videos will be posted in a week.

INTERVIEW FROM HER LATEST BELGRADE VISIT WHERE SHE IS NOW:

Q: Where do you think you’ll be this time next year at WTA rankings?
Jelena: I had very good year. I haven’t even planned to enter top ten this season. It is going to be very hard to stay there, but for now my plan is to stay there and to play good tennis.
Q: It is very clear even now that you are one of the hottest favorites for the best sportsman/woman of the year in Yugoslavia. Would you like to win that title?
Jelena:  Of course. I have Yugoslavian passport just one year and there is already chance for me to be best sportsperson of the year. I’d be very happy.
Q: Who is the best tennis player for you at the moment?
Jelena: I think that there are lot of good tennis players. Williams and Davenport have played fewer tournaments this year but they have best results. Than there are Davenport and Capriati who are taking over each other for the top spot. In my opinion the most powerful are Davenport and Williams. They have very different style but for me they are the best.

Q: Has media attitude changed towards you since you turned 18 and got Yu passport?
Jelena: Since I took Yu passport last season, all my titles I won as a Yugoslav. My attitude towards media has changed, I had lot of problems while I lived in Australia, but I’ve learnt something. The media attitude hasn’t changed since I turned 18.
Q: Why does Jelena won’t play Australian Open?

Jelena: I’ve played a lot of tournaments this year and I really want good rest. Australia is very far and travelling there would be a strain for me. Even though I’ll miss first Grand Slam I plan to start playing earlier than last season. This year I started In April and next one I’ll start February.

Q: Have you got the chance to see Yugoslavia?

Jelena: Not yet, but I plan to stay her for long time and I’ll have plenty  time for things like that.
 

Jelena's November Belgrade vacation

Here is interview in Serbian sent to me by Madonna. I did not have time to translate it and if someone of you has send me on my e-mail.

Uvek su postojale teniserke koje ne odgovaraju drugim
teniserkama i to je slucaj sa Lindzi Devenport i
Jelenom Dokic.Nasa Jelena je imala dosta problema sa
igrom protiv Devenportove,sto se najbolje videlo u
poslednja dva meca.Lindzi ima snazan servis,kao i
retern,a to ne odgovara Dokicevoj.Primetio sam i da je
Amerikanka za nijansu brza nego ranije,tako da
kombinacijom tih elemenata dobijate pravu tenisku
masinu-smatra Radmilo Armenulic,savezni selektor
jugoslovenskih reprezentacija.
Devenportova vodi sa 5:0 u pobedama protiv Jelene
Dokic.Da li to moze negativno da utice na nasu
teniserku?

-Kao sto sam rekao,igra Lindzi ne odgovara Dokicevoj,i
to je osnovni problem.Takodje,ona je daleko iskusnija
i snaznija od Jelene,ali to ne treba da je opterecuje
i siguran sam da ce uskoro srusiti nepobedivost
Devenportove.Mozda ne u Minhenu,ali vrlo
brzo,verovatno na betonu ili sljaci.Odranije znam da u
Minhenu forsiraju najbrzu mogucu podlogu,bar je tako
bilo ranije zbog Borisa Bekera,a to odgovara
Devenportovoj,i recimo Sereni Vilijams.Ne treba
zaboraviti ni da Jelena u prvom kolu igra protiv Megan
Sonesi,teniserke koja se takodje odlicno snalazi na
brzim podlogama.

Sta bi ste savetovali Jeleni da promeni u igri protiv
Devenportove?
-Dogovorio sam se sa Damirom Dokicem,Jeleninim ocem,da
je pratim po turnirima i savetujem.U ovom slucaju za
nju je najvaznije da razbije sablon igre Lindzi
Devenport.To znaci da mora cesce da koristi skracene
lopte,kako bi amerikanka izlazila na mrezu.Vazno je i
da je ''lomi'' ritmom,a ne da se drzi samo jednog
udarca.Ne sme da gubi strpljenje,vec da protivnicu
''seta'' po terenu.Pred Jelenom je sjajna buducnost i
nema razloga za brigu.

Jelena Dokic je ove godine igrala u sest finala i
osvojila je tri turnira-Rim,Tokio i Moskvu.
-Samo u jednoj sezoni Jelena je pokazala sav svoj
talenat i budite sigurni da je glavni kandidat za
najbolju sportiskinju Jugoslavije 2001.godini-dodao je
Radmilo Armenulic.

Saturday 27 October. 2001- Straight to semi-finales

By Ljubisa Bojic

Dokic of Yugoslavia had a tough time yesterday but she managed to overcome Alexandra Stevenson in straight sets, 6-3, 7-5. Stevenson's main resistance was shown in precious serves. She even got to the lead of 4-2 but Jelena returned to the match and crush her Alexandra like a ton of bricks. Aggressive comeback of powerful Jelena stopped Stevenson and totally interrupted her rhythm. Therefore there is a hope that Dokic of Yugoslavia is mature now and ready to make camback from every problem-situation.  

However if Jelena goes all the way to finales she would play against Lindsay Davenport. Fans will certainly wait another collision with hope that Jelena has enough both experience and hard-work to prevail.

After yesterday's great victory over Silvia Farina Elia of Italy Dokic made her path to the semi-finales of Zurich's Swisscom challenge. It was not easy task and Dokic lost focus on the game as she was down 3:1 in the first set but Jelena managed to take a first set 6:4. In second set Jelena was loosing 4:1 but managed to pull back and achieve second set score 7:6. Finally result of the match 6:4, 7:6 shows how things can go wrong way. But it is important that Jelena destroyed all problems and booked ticket for semi-finales where she will play against  Nathalie Tauziat of France. That should be easy task for hottest player on the WTA tour and 1oth player in the world.

Friday 19 October. 2001- Chanda Rubin defeated at Swisscom challange

 By Ljubisa Bojic

Hottest player in woman tennis circuit  JelenaDokic won match against Chanda Rubin of America in second round of Swisscom challenge tournament. Despite result 6-4, 6-4 it was not so easy as Dokic committed 11 double faults and 34 unforced errors. It will be Farina Ellia from Italy who will try to challenge our queen. After winning two important tournaments last month Dokic is expected to become player of the month. Jelena gained lot of self-confidence that will be required in next matches of her. Apparently Jelena had spare time that she used to see some turistic attractions and beaustiful countryside of Switcherland. For latest reports and updates on developing story log on our message board because we expect live reports from Zurich. Now see latest interviews from Zurich:   

Interview with Jelena Dokic (18 October 2001)

Was it a tough match?

Yea but I played her six months ago so that was also tough, and I’ve been here for a few days, and not to play till the last day that’s possible is tough, but you know, it’s something you have to deal with, and now that it’s over and done with, I’m happy.

(Inaudible question)

I think when she started complaining a little bit, I think that was just concentration. I don’t think it was my serve really, I had two or three points for 4-1, and then I was two breaks down, 4-3 and a break down again like I was in the first, so it’s just I think mental more than anything.

Are you happy with your year?

Yea I am pretty happy with the way it has gone. My goal wasn’t to be in the top ten this year, but that’s where I am right now, and you know, to win as many tournaments as I have also wasn’t my goal, but the year has been really good for me and I have had really good results on all sorts of surfaces.

How did you find the surface here?

A little slow I think. The other indoor tournaments that we’ve been playing at I think were a lot quicker than this one was, but you know, it’s something I’ve gotten used to and I think it suits my game.

Thursday 18 October. 2001- Exclusive interview before match in Zurich

 By Ljubisa Bojic

Dokic will play against Chanda Rubin in second round of Swiccsom challenge on center court later today. Match is scheduled to start after 2:00 PM. Rubin defeated Angels Montolio of Spain 6-1, 6-3 in opening round of Zurich tournament. Jelena and Chanda played at beginning of the year at exhibition tournament in Hong Kong and Jelena won that match due Chanda's injury. However we don't have realistic reason for concern considering Dokic's last moth successes. Rubin is great volley player and it has some very good matches in recent period. Therefore there is hope that Dokic will not take Rubin lightly and enter match without concentration.

Jelena Dokic strikes toward top of the world (from Vecernje Novosti daily newspaper)

Tennis racquet goes along beauty

10^th world tennis player went modeling and she makes advertisements for everything, from clothes to perfumes. She does not travel only two months in year. She does not have time for love. Next moth she will come to Yugoslavia again.

In ancient mythology of Greece beautiful Jelena, daughter of Zevs and Lada, sister of Kastor and Poluks, was meaning of beauty. According to the legend Jelena was reason for Trojan war because she was kidnapped from her husband Menolajus by Paris who was son of Troja’s king Prijam.

Yugoslavia is rich with Jelena’s and her greatest flower is Jelena Dokic. She is 10^th tennis player of the world who is attracting people with her game and beauty. But holding racquet in hands, making serves and hitting ball is not easy. For that achievement power is required and power is destroying feminine. Does Jelena agree with that?

I have not thought about that. Tennis is sport. I think that we are all feminine.

There are rumors that you walked fashion runway?

It is correct. That goes with tennis. I made advertisement for everything from clothes to perfumes. All tennis players so that and it is not bad for game.

You become adult 12^th April current year. You are already in top ten. How do you feel fame?

I did not get to the world of tennis overnight. It was more like going from one step to another, so I did not notice the difference.

Is it hard to be Jelena Dokic?

No.

Have you ever wished to be regular girl- to go to university, go to nightclubs?

Maybe sometimes but I picked tennis and I knew what’s going to be like.    

How much has tennis taken from your youth and how much has it given?

Tennis has given me lot and taken lot from me. It depends from which angle you are watching. There is great difference between regular person and person who play tennis.

 Do you have friends and time for hanging out with them?

I don’t have a lot of friends. Sometimes we are hanging out during the tournaments. I travel from 10 to 12 moths. I am changing place very often. But that is my choice and prize of success.

You have house in Florida and you live like nomad? You travel from one town to another, from one hotel to another. How do you maintain that?

I used to that. I live that rhythm for last five years. Everyone who plays tennis must get used to it. You must be strong psychologically.

Everybody ask you about boyfriend. Do you have time for love?

No, So far. I already told you that I travel 10 months and my boyfriend must be the right one.

With you there is one of the parents always. Who is better?

Family means lot to me. I would not do anything without of their support. My father Damir has greatest authority in tennis and my mother Ljiljana is same like every other mother.

You have been in Belgrade for few days?

That time went so fast. It was fantastic. I also trained here and I have done some jobs.

You said that you would come (to Yugoslavia) again in November?

Yes because I would like to have some rest, I want to run from tennis and medias. No hard fillings but next time when I came here I shall make sure that nobody knows where I am going to have vacation. I shall meet some our writers. I adore to read poetry and prose.

(About Burek- Serbian special dish) I could not resist that specialty of our national kitchen in Belgrade.  I found one bakery and burek is much better here than in Sidney.

Her parents and brother Sava are her strongest support. But when she step out on the court she is alone. What do you think in critical moments and what do you use to make yourself feel better?

I think only about the match. I enter every match with positive thoughts and I never think that I will lose some match.

Are you superstitious?

No I am not.

Sunday 14 October. 2001- Jelena will strike again for 4th title in Zurich 

 By Ljubisa Bojic

Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia will strike again for her next title in Zurich. Dokic is seeded 4th and got first round bye and she will play probably against Chanda Rubin of America in second round of Zurich tournament on Wednesday or Thursday. She has pretty easy draw and we can expect great display of skills. After that in third round Dokic is expected to face Anke Huber. That match should be easy but Jelena should not relax her self. If she go all the way to the semi-finales there is Martina Hingis to beat and I am almost sure Dokic will do it because of huge motive she has. 

DokicJelena.com gave efforts to get live coverage from Zurich from its members. After her trip to Germany, Dokic will go to Thailand to play not less important tournament. DokicJelena.com team is trying to establish its network in Bangkok in order to get live reports from there as well.

Friday 12 October. 2001- Jelena is safe and sound in Belgrade

By Ljubisa Bojic

Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia arrived to Belgrade today in order to extend visa. Dokic's travel to Belgrade with her mother Ljiljana is a smart move considering war stage in USA and very dangerous threat of anthrax (biological weapon) attack in Florida where Jelena has a house. It is relief for all fans when we know that Jelena is on the safe place- Yugoslavia.

Jelena has not been in her Belgrade house for long time, about few months. It is great joy for her to see Belgrade again although she will not have time to enjoy in it.

Her next scheduled tournaments are in Zurich, Germany and Papaya, Thailand. These tournaments can help Jelena to go further in her top-ten list crusade toward 8th place.

EXCLUSIVE: Best Yugoslav tennis player arrived in Belgrade to extend visa

from Austrian  - Serbian newspaper

Dokic: I am on the right way

Belgrade- Jelena Dokic who is Yugoslav tennis queen, arrived in Belgrade. She came together with her mother Ljilja (Ljiljana) to extend visa so she can continue her furious crusade toward top of tennis world. Jelena Dokic will play in Zurich 17^th October for her next title. When we spoke with her about two years ago she told us that she has a goal to enter top 15 players in the world. After she won the tournament in Moscow where she was better than home-crowd-favorite Elena Dementieva, Dokic entered top ten.

I came to Belgrade, to extend visa for future competitions. I entered top ten, but our people are great and they want only the top. I followed matches of Yugoslavian champions- water polo players, basketball players, and volleyball players. Therefore I realized that I must chase only first place so I can be on the level of most successful sport nation in the world. I am very sorry that I will not be able to enjoy in beauties  of Belgrade, but I will find time for that in the future. At a present it is most important for me to continue with good matches and victories so I can go further toward top in the list of best tennis players in the world.

You won the finale match against Elena Dementieva and her home-crowd in Moscow without any problems?

Elena Dementieva will make great success in the future. I knew that her crowd would cheer aggressively until she starts to lose. That is characteristic of crowd in Moscow and we (Serbians) are different from them. I followed matches of Janko Tipsarevic in Davis cup and I admired support of our crowd until last moment of the match. I have a dream to play in front my home crowd in Yugoslavia.

What are your future plans?

I already answered that question. People in our country push our sportsman and sportswoman to the top with their fantastic support. I need much more effort in order to get to the top, but I think that I am on the right way to do that- said Jelena Dokic.

Dokic is first seeded- from Vecernje novosti newspaper

Bangkok (Beta agency)- Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia will be first seeded in Thailand tennis tournament that will be held at beginning of the next month- officials of the tournament said.

Tournament’s main sponsor is “Volvo”. Tournament will be played for reward of US$ 110.000 from 3rd to 11th November this year in city of Papaya, which is located 111 km east from Bangkok.

Beside Dokic who entered top ten of WTA tour list yesterday, other competitors will be Bulgarian Magdalena Maleva (16) who won this tournament in 1999 and defending champion Ane Kremer (32) of Luxemburg.

Other more famous participants of “Volvo” cup are Iroda Tulagajanova from Uzbekistan and Pati Snajder from Switzerland. There is also local hope Tamarin Tanasugarn (24) who will try to repeat success dating from 1996 when she got to the finales of the tournament. She has not won her first professional title until no; last week she lost in Tokyo finales from Monica Seles.

Wednesday 10 October. 2001- As victory of Jelena unfolds, reactions are numerous

By Ljubisa Bojic

Dokic announced that she was forced to withdraw from  Kiwi cup in China's town of Shangai. However there is possibility that Dokic will play in Zirih, Germany.

I'm disappointed I can't come back to Shanghai, because I had a great time there last year. But after straining my ankle early in the Moscow final I need to rest it for the upcoming tournaments. I'm really happy with the way I'm playing right now, so it's a shame I can't make it to Shanghai this year."

When Dokic won we all knew that it is beginning of new era in Yugoslavian tennis. There are lot of talented girls and boys that have great potential. Now they have who to fallow. The same revolution happened in Belgium when two players entered top ten. Jelena's splendid performance is not only a sign of her hard-work but also of her tremendous talent. However this is not end of the story and Jelena is just 18 years old and can do much to improve here game and achieve her full potential. As a conclusion I would briefly suggest that there is much more material to do when we talk about Jelena Dokic and maybe this would be the right time to hair some coach.

Two new fantastic photos of Jelena Dokic. Both Yeltsin and Clinton watch tennis tournaments around the world as they have spare time. Yeltsin watched Jelena at Kremlin cup and there are rumors that he got drunk.

Monday 07 October. 2001- She is champion, conqueror and queen of tennis 

By Ljubisa Bojic

"Dementieva strikes back, she is not giving her-self, ball goes on the corner, Dokic bites her on the weakest point, yeah, YES fantastic punch and Dokic proved once again that she is champion, conqueror and queen of art of tennis game."

It is 6-3, 6-3, Dokic won it in straight sets and this goal was accomplished in one hour and eight minutes. What a lovely match and splendid game that have been displayed in front of central court in Moscow today.

I played not at all badly today and consider myself ready for the final," Dokic said before match. And she was more than ready to play against Elena Dementieva of Russia and her home crowd in Moscow.

Ice is broken and she cannot be stopped. Whit this win not only she will enter top ten but also beak well-known psychological shield and make herself consistent player who can win five matches against strong opponents at one time. Consistency is only way to win major tournaments and grand slams which should be her next goal. 

What is next? Jelena Dokic will visit for first time beautiful city of Shangai in Shout-east China. After that there is scheduled one more tournament in Germay's city of Zurich. Jelena shown that she posses incredible amount of durability. That is making question? Is she human? Someone would say: No she is a goddess. We will see when she will stop and take a rest in Yugoslavia or her Belgrade house.

Tuesday 02 October. 2001- Kremlin cup will be good move

By Ljubisa Bojic

Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia will play first round of Kremlin cup in Moscow today against Lina Krasnoroutskaya of Russia. Dokic needs very small number of points to enter top ten and she can gain enough by wining few rounds at this highly important tournament in Russia. Although Krasnoroutskaya will have home crowd cheering for her number of Dokic  fans have been significantly increased since beginning of current year.

Last week Dokic played in Laipzig cup, Germany, but she reportedly lost first round. She received bad critics that she is non-stabile and immature player. Her fans know how that famous "hart attack" tactic works. However prime reason of her loss in Germany is that she is very tired right now, because of remarkable busy and successful season but she (Jelena) is willing to play more and to give her last atom of strength in order to open gate toward ten best players in the World. This (Kremlin cup) is her significant chance to make her dream, desire and course of the year come true. Entering top ten will be honor but also great responsibility and Dokic will have to defend her points, make her stabile and non-shaky on that fragile place and prepare herself for final strike- Destroying Capriati, Venus and Hingis. These arrogant players standing on the top must be defeated and we (fans) all know that Dokic is capable of doing so. At the end I have to excuse myself for not being capable in gaining time for editing and making this site for few days.
