Jelena Dokic has spoken out about her father’s arrest. Her father, Damir, was arrested in Serbia after threatening to fire a rocket at the Australian ambassador’s automobile. Police raided his home and found two illegal detonation devices.

On Thursday (May 7th) Dokic’s rep released this statement:
“Jelena is very distressed and saddened by her father’s arrest. She understands well the severity of the situation. Obviously, she cannot, in any way, be held responsible for her father’s actions. Jelena remains 100% focused on her tennis in preparation for the upcoming French Open. We will have no further comment on this unfortunate situation.”
It seems that troubles with her father are never ending. He is obviously a troubled man.
