Jelena Dokic couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she promoted her new book in Sydney this weekend.
The tennis champion was absolutely beaming while signing copies of her memoir, Fearless, at a Dymock’s store in the CBD.
The 40-year-old looked chic in in a white blouse under a navy blazer, to which she added matching trousers.
Jelena carried a cream tote bag and completed her ensemble with crisp white sneakers.
She opted for a bright makeup look with a warm bronzer and mauve lipstick while wearing her caramel locks down around her face.

It comes after Jelena hit out at ‘body shamers’ in an emotional Instagram post.
She posted to social media to post powerful images of herself at sizes 6 and 16, along with a lengthy caption imploring fans not to ‘judge’ her.
‘Will you judge me if I am a size 16 for being a bigger size?’ began the athlete-turned-commentator.
‘And will you judge me if I am ever a size 6 again for not being a bigger size anymore and for maybe losing weight?’

‘You shouldn’t. Either way,’ added Dokic.
‘Shaming and making fun of someone based on their weight or judging someone’s worth based on size is pure body shaming and bullying,’ wrote the former world number 4 ranked player.
‘When it comes to health, of course I want to be healthy. Of course I do my best. Of course I am working on myself.’
She went on to add, ‘The takeaway being that we need to stop obsessing about size, weight and measurements and focus on kindness, good hearts and generosity.’

‘So what if I am a size 16 today and a size 4 down the track. Who cares!’
‘And lastly, if you want to lose a few kilos, so what? If you gain some weight, so what? Nothing wrong with one or the other,’ concluded Dokic.
The extraordinary post comes after Dokic recently refused to name and shame a vicious troll who attacked her online.
The retired tennis star was accused of being a ‘hypocrite’ and called ‘morbidly obese’ in the vile post, which she shared with fans on her Instagram on Sunday.

Posting a video to Instagram last week, Jelena thanked her followers for supporting her before explaining why she decided not to expose the hater – even though many fans believed she should have.
Last month, Jelena opened up to Stellar magazine about her years struggling with an eating disorder.
The tennis great revealed she spent years struggling with her relationship with food due to the trauma she experienced growing up.
She said much of her disordered eating stemmed from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father and his weaponization of food when she was just a teenager.
