She recently went on a health journey and lost 20 pounds.
And Jelena Dokic, 41, showed off an impressive body transformation during her trip to Osijek, Croatia on Wednesday.
The Channel Nine commentator and former tennis star looked radiant in a short-sleeved white dress made from sorbet-coloured fabric as she enjoyed her morning coffee.
She teamed the ensemble with a pair of simple gold earrings and large black cat-eye sunglasses.
Jelena joked in her post that she was going for a “cool” look, but that it might not have worked out.
“I’m obviously trying to look cool while drinking my morning coffee,” she wrote.
“I don’t think I can do it. This is more of a ‘don’t talk to me until I’ve had my morning coffee’ look.”

In a short clip, Jelena revealed that the original message was meant to be sarcastic.
She wrote: ‘I’m not sure if you all got ‘my joke message’ yesterday.
“I was joking about my ‘cool’ look, which was more like a ‘don’t talk to me’ look. I clearly didn’t look cool, I know I looked like a ‘don’t talk to me’ look.”

Last month, Jelena responded to public comments about her recent weight loss, insisting that she had lost the pounds for health reasons.
The Nine commentator shared a post on Instagram comparing her current appearance to what she looked like in 2023, when she was 20kg heavier.
In the caption, she emphasized that she looked happy in both photos and that weight loss was not the goal, but merely a “byproduct” of adopting healthier habits.
“The most important thing is that I am happy and proud of both photos, regardless of my weight, and I am always kind,” she began.
“This is about HEALTH not SIZE,” she continued. “So many questions about how to get healthier, which is why I lost weight. Weight loss wasn’t a priority; it’s just a byproduct of taking care of my health.”

To those who accused her of crash dieting, Jelena went on to clarify: ‘I didn’t lose weight quickly. I lost 20 kilos in just under 10 months. Nothing fast.’
Jelena explained that she lost weight because she has a family history of diabetes and was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure.
She also explained exactly how she did that.
“I stopped eating late at night, especially things like burgers, pizza, fries, and desserts, because they made me feel so lethargic when I woke up, especially before early morning work and flights. So I no longer eat heavy meals in the evening and I don’t eat after 7pm,” Jelena wrote.
‘I now eat more salads and soups for my meals, such as a chicken caesar salad or tomato soup with multigrain bread. This type of meal doesn’t make me feel sluggish and I feel full.
‘I drink more water now and I drink less soda, even diet soda.
“It’s small changes over time and while I still have my cheeseburger and fries days, it’s just a lot less and I definitely don’t eat junk food when I’m working and traveling. That’s it,” she concluded.
