Tennis comeback queen Jelena Dokic is expected to bounce back from the excruciating back injury which cruelly forced her out of the French Open.

The Australian saw doctors in Paris on Friday after suddenly injuring her lower back the previous day when she was up a set and dominating her second-round match against Russian world No.4 Elena Dementieva at Roland Garros.

Dokic, 26, underwent treatment on her back and an MRI scan to determine whether the injury could spell the end of the former world No.4's comeback dreams. 

But her management said the doctors believed Dokic would not suffer any permanent damage.

"It's a day-by-day process at the moment," her spokesman said.

"But we don't believe it will be anything long term."
