Jelena Dokic and Nenad Zimonjic rest between games
in their match against Cara Black and Kevin Ullyett

Melbourne, AUSTRALIA, January 23 - Jelena Dokic and Nenad Zimonjic defeated Kevin Ullyett (RSA) and Cara Black (ZIM) with 6:3, 1:6, 7:5, in the mixed doubles second round of the Australian Open, but they had to pull out of the next match against Ellis Ferreira (RSA) and Corina Morariu (USA), due to Dokic`s back injury.

- I injured my back while swimming in the pool - Dokic said - It is not that bad, but I cannot play in the double. I do not want to take any chances.

Thus this year's Australian Open is finished for Jelena Dokic, since she was eliminated earlier in the singles and in the women's doubles.
