JAKARTA - The world of tennis was recently enlivened by the circulation of a video showing a father beating his daughter on the sidelines.
In an interview with Channel 9 Australia, former Jelena Dokic has been outspoken about something she has experienced in the past.
The woman from Australia who now works as a coach, commentator and writer remembers that she experienced the same thing as her father.
"It's hard to watch and especially after experiencing it yourself," said Donic.
"I was completely kicked until I fell unconscious for a week before the US Open when I was only 16 years old, and that's not the only thing I experienced. Unfortunately, what happened behind closed doors was even worse."
The tennis player then complained about the absence of an incident solution for the 14-year-old girl. In the video, he is seen not only being beaten, but also being kicked and grabbed until he falls. After that, he was again kicked repeatedly.
"It looks like the father and coach of this 14-year-old girl hit someone at a tennis academy a few weeks ago. And now he beat his daughter like this," added Donic.
And I ask myself: why did this happen? He (the man who did the violence, ed) has been banned from joining several (technical) clubs but he can be at other clubs and go to tournaments. That's because the system is damaged.
"If he's done this and he's banned from a club or tennis academy, he shouldn't be allowed near a tennis club."
