Jelena Dokic is alive and well - and she has emphatically denied all the recent rumors of her alleged kidnapping at the hands of her boyfriend and his brother.
Eurosport, which was one of the first media outlets to break the story on Damir Dokic’s claim that his daughter had been kidnapped, has just published a new article quoting Jelena as saying that she is fine and is not even communicating with her father at present.
In an extensive interview with Belgrade daily Sportski Zurnal, Dokic said: “Of course I haven’t been kidnapped, that’s complete nonsense. I have been listening to such rubbish from my father for the last three years.”
She added: “I need to say this to protect my boyfriend, Tin Bikic, because he has never interfered either with my private life or my tennis. In no way has he affected my career.”

Ironically, this is not the first time that Damir Dokic has been involved with a kidnapping controversy over his daughter. Damir allegedly threatened to kidnap Jelena back in January after she decided to transfer her allegiance back to Australia.
