Dokic reunites with father after 8 years

MELBOURNE, Australia - Australian tennis player Jelena Dokic says she has reconciled with her father and former coach, Damir, after an eight-year rift. Dokic, 28, who was ranked as high as No. 4 as a teenager during her peak, split with her father after a series of embarrassing public indiscretions. She went on to accuse him of years of humiliation and abuse as her coach. In a statement released Wednesday, Jelena Dokic visited Damir in Serbia "to finally put an end to our disagreement." She said her father was very receptive to the meeting and "I believe he has changed greatly. He understands that I am my own person who makes my own decisions."
