Océane Dodin

[2] Dodin began playing on the ITF Women's Circuit in July 2011 at the age of 14.

In April 2013, Dodin reached her first final on the professional tour and won the title at the tournament in Les Franqueses del Vallès.

As a wildcard, she faced a much higher ranked player, Teliana Pereira, and lost in straight sets.

[3] Dodin did not make any progress in the first four months of 2014 but then won two back-to-back $10k tournaments in Antalya and Amarante.

She also advanced to the semifinals of the Open de Limoges, her debut on the WTA Challenger Tour.

In the new season, Dodin made her Grand Slam main-draw debut at the Australian Open due to a wildcard.

[6] After a few attempts, she made her WTA Tour debut as a lucky loser at the Internationaux de Strasbourg.

[7] In early June, she made her debut on grass, playing in the main draw of the Rosmalen Championships.

At Wimbledon, she failed to reach the main draw and was forced to return to the ITF Circuit.

However, from late January until April, she reached four ITF semifinals, including two $50k-level tournaments — at Andrézieux-Bouthéon and Croissy-Beaubourg.

[12] A month later, as a qualifier, she reached the quarterfinals of the Ladies Linz after defeating two top 100 players - Kristýna Plíšková and Sorana Cîrstea.

At the Sunshine Doubles – Indian Wells and Miami Open, she made her Premier Mandatory debut but lost in the first rounds of both tournaments.

As a qualifier at the third Premier Mandatory tournament of the year, the Madrid Open, Dodin realized two important wins.

She finished the year failing to defend her title at Québec, with a walkover after the first round due to dizziness.

In July, at the $100k Contrexéville tournament, she was forced to retire in the first round after the first set due to health problems.

In early October, she won the title at the $25k+H Cherbourg-en-Cotentin tournament after defeating compatriot Harmony Tan.

In early February 2020, as a qualifier, Dodin advanced to the quarterfinals of the Premier St. Petersburg Trophy where she defeated Viktória Kužmová[25] and former top-10 player Johanna Konta[26] in the first two rounds.

Her grass-court season started with playing at the Nottingham Open, where she beat former top-10 player, CoCo Vandeweghe, in the first round.

122 at the 2023 French Open, she recorded her first major win in six years over wildcard player and compatriot, Séléna Janicijevic,[33][34] avenging her loss in Strasbourg.

[36] Closing out 2023, she scored consecutive titles in France and Luxembourg to bring her ranking back into the top 100 at a season high of No.

[39] At the WTA 1000 Miami Open, she replaced 29th seed Marta Kostyuk, after her withdrawal, directly in the second round of the main draw as a lucky loser and reached the third round for the first time at this tournament defeating Arantxa Rus,[40] before losing to third seed Coco Gauff.

[41] At the WTA 1000 Italian Open, Dodin also entered the main draw as a lucky loser, replacing fourth seed Elena Rybakina after her late withdrawal directly into the second round.

Her favorite streak consists of hitting hard from the baseline and concluding the point with a minimum of rallies (3 maximum), a risky game causing her to produce a high number of winning shots but also unforced errors during a match.

Her game is also suited to her limited endurance, the repetition of exchanges leading her to have side points.

[2] This style of play has been worked on since her early years in Villeneuve-d'Ascq targeting the glance and speed of execution.

[45] Only main-draw results in WTA Tour, Grand Slam tournaments, Fed Cup/Billie Jean King Cup and Olympic Games are included in win–loss records.
