Former WTA legend Jelena Dokic has finally shared an update about the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix incident that led to an eye injury. Dokic also thanked Mercedes-Benz Australia for their care after the accident.
For context, Dokic, who retired in 2014, has been enjoying her retirement time. The former tennis player turned commentator decided to join Formula 1 fans on Saturday to enjoy the Australian Grand Prix live in Melbourne. However, an unexpected incident occurred in the Grand Prix qualifying round.
As the game progressed, Fernando Alonso went off track and sprayed sections of the fans with gravel, some of which got trapped in Dokic’s eye. The WTA star was rushed to the Mercedes-Benz medical lounge, where she received treatment.
