Her extraordinary journey underscores the power of the human spirit, showing that no obstacle is insurmountable with grit and determination. Dokic's story continues to motivate others to chase their dreams against all odds.

    It puts some of the bad press she had in her tennis career into real perspective, it was her father that created her turmoil.
