Océane Dodin (French pronunciation:[ɔseandɔdɛ̃], born 24 October 1996) is a French professionaltennis player. She reached a career-high singlesranking of No. 46 and in doubles of No. 375 in 2017 by theWTA.[1] Dodin has won oneWTA Tour singles title at the2016 Coupe Banque Nationale, and a further 17ITF Circuit titles. Her best result at amajor is reaching the fourth round of the2024 Australian Open.
Dodin was born on 24 October 1996 inLille. An only child, she played tennis with her parents and was coached by her father, Frédéric Dodin. Her tennis idols includeMaria Sharapova andRoger Federer.[2]
Dodin began playing on theITF Women's Circuit in July 2011 at the age of 14. She first participated at the $10k Valladolid tournament, where she qualified for the main draw. Her first significant achievement was in March 2012 at a $10k tournament in Bron, where she reached her first semifinal.
In April 2013, Dodin reached her first final on the professional tour and won the title at the tournament inLes Franqueses del Vallès. She followed this up with her first qualifying of aGrand Slam tournament at theFrench Open. As awildcard, she faced a much higher ranked player,Teliana Pereira, and lost instraight 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. In July, she reached the semifinals of a $15k tournament in Imola, before making it to the final of the $10k event in Valladolid. In September, she won her first $25k-level tournament inShrewsbury and made her debut in the top 500.[4]
This helped her make herWTA Tour debut – qualifying at theLuxembourg Open. She failed to reach the main draw, losing toIvana Jorović. Dodin then reached her first final of the highest ITF-level tournament inPoitiers. She also advanced to the semifinals of theOpen de Limoges, her debut on theWTA Challenger Tour. Finally, she won the $25k Zawada tournament by defeatingJeļena Ostapenko in the final, and so made her debut in the top 200.

In the new season, Dodin made her major main-draw debut at theAustralian Open due to a wildcard. She won her first match defeatingAlison Riske.[5] In the following round, she facedKarolína Plíšková and she lost in the three sets.[6] After a few attempts, she made her WTA Tour debut as alucky loser at theInternationaux de Strasbourg. At theFrench Open, she was handed another wildcard for a major but lost toKurumi Nara in the first round.[7]
In early June, she made her debut ongrass, playing in the main draw of theRosmalen Championships. AtWimbledon, she failed to reach the main draw and was forced to return to the ITF Circuit. At theUS Open, she received another wildcard which allowed her to achieve a big win, when she defeated former No. 1,Jelena Janković, in the first round.[8] By the end of the year, she played two more WTA tournament qualifyings. She first failed at theLinz Open, but then succeeded at theLuxembourg Open. She finished the year winning the title at the $25k Shrewsbury tournament.[9]

The start of the year was not promising for Dodin. She failed in qualifying atBrisbane andHobart, followed up with a first-round loss at theAustralian Open. This brought her back to the ITF Circuit. However, from late January until April, she reached four ITF semifinals, including two $50k-level tournaments — atAndrézieux-Bouthéon andCroissy-Beaubourg. In April, she passed qualifying at two WTA events — theStuttgart Open andPrague Open. Then, at theMadrid Open, she tried to make herPremier 5/Mandatory main-draw debut but failed in qualifying. At theFrench Open, she was handed a wildcard, but lost to former No. 1,Ana Ivanovic. After losing in theWimbledon qualifying, she reached the final of the $100kContrexévilleclay court tournament. She lost to compatriotPauline Parmentier.[10]
Her switch tohardcourt tournaments that year was not successful. She lost in the first round of theWashington Open and failed to qualify into theCanadian Open. She returned to the ITF Circuit where she advanced into two $25k finals, losing the first but winning the second one. Between these two tournaments, she failed in the qualifying of theUS Open. Following this, she participated at thecarpet tournamentTournoi de Québec, where she had her breakthrough. In the final, she defeated qualifierLauren Davis in straight sets.[11] This result made her rank in the top 100 for the first time.[12] A month later, as a qualifier, she reached the quarterfinals of theLadies Linz after defeating two top 100 players -Kristýna Plíšková andSorana Cîrstea. She then lost toMadison Keys. Two weeks later, she won the $100kPoitiers tournaments, again defeating Davis in the final.[13]

Dodin started the year with first-round losses in the qualifying draw at theBrisbane International andSydney International. At theAustralian Open, she came close to reaching her first major third round. She won the first set againstCaroline Garcia in the second round, but then Garcia made a turnaround. In late February, Dodin advanced to the quarterfinals of theHungarian Ladies Open. In the quarterfinal match againstTímea Babos, she won the second set but lost the third. At the Sunshine Doubles –Indian Wells andMiami 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, theMadrid Open, Dodin realized two important wins. She first defeated former top-10 playerAndrea Petkovic and then made her first top-ten win over No. 5,Dominika Cibulková.[14] In the third round, she lost toKristina Mladenovic winning only three games.[15]
Dodin then started to struggle with form. She failed to qualify into the Premier-5Italian Open, following this up with second rounds at theNuremberg Cup andFrench Open. She started preparing for the grass-court season at the $100kSurbiton Trophy, where she advanced to the semifinals. As a result, she reached her highest singles ranking at world No. 46 on 12 June 2017. At the next two grass tournaments —Nottingam Open and $100kIlkley Trophy — she failed in the first round. The same happened atWimbledon, losing toLucie Šafářová. A promising comeback happened at the followingWashington Open where she switched from grass to hardcourt. There, she won against two former top-ten players, Jelena Janković[16] andSara Errani, followed by a win over top-20 playerSabine Lisicki. During her second-round match against Errani, Dodin saved three match points.[17] In the semifinal match, she won the first set but thenEkaterina Makarova prevailed.[18] By the end of year, she missed achieving any more significant results, losing in the early rounds of the Premier-5Canadian Open andCincinnati Open, and theUS Open. She finished the year failing to defend her title atQuébec, with awalkover after the first round due to dizziness.[19]

Dodin got attention at the2018 Miami Open, when she won the first set against world No. 1,Simona Halep, before losing the second-round match.[20][21] Her other results during the season include first rounds at theAustralian Open andFrench Open, as well as only the second round of qualifying atWimbledon. In July, at the $100kContrexéville tournament, she was forced to retire in the first round after the first set due to health problems.[22] She could not play for the rest of the season.
Dodin returned in April 2019[23] to the ITF Circuit due to a drop in her rank. Her performance improved and in June she reached the semifinals of the $25k+H Figueira da Foz tournament. Two weeks later, she advanced to the final of the $25k Corroios-Seixal tournament. Soon after, she reached another $25k level semifinal, followed up with a same-level final in Koksijde. In early October, she won the title at the $25k+H Cherbourg-en-Cotentin tournament after defeating compatriotHarmony Tan.[24] It was her first ITF title in three years. She finished the season with further success on the ITF Circuit, including the semifinals at the$80k Internationaux de Poitiers, as well as two $25k semifinals and one final.
In early February 2020, as a qualifier, Dodin advanced to the quarterfinals of the PremierSt. Petersburg Trophy where she defeatedViktória Kužmová[25] and former top-10 playerJohanna Konta[26] in the first two rounds. In her quarterfinal match againstElena Rybakina, Dodin won the first set and had match points but then lost the following two sets.[27] She then won the title at the $25k Mâcon tournament. The following week, she reached the quarterfinal of theLyon Open where she lost to No. 5,Sofia Kenin.[28] She then started to struggle, reaching only first rounds of tournaments such as the Premier 5Cincinnati Open and theUS Open. After winning the $25k tournament at Reims in late October, she came toLinz as a qualifier and advanced to the quarterfinals. There, she lost toAryna Sabalenka, being forced to retire during the second set.[29] After these results, she ultimately finished 2020 ranked No. 107.
Dodin struggled with form during the 2021 season. Her first WTA Tour-level win was in May at theSerbia Open where she defeated Kristýna Plíšková in the first round. In the following round, she lost toNadia Podoroska. She then had two first-round losses atStrasbourg and theFrench Open. Her grass-court season started with playing at theNottingham Open, where she beat former top-10 player,CoCo Vandeweghe, in the first round. AtWimbledon, she failed in the last stage of qualifying. In late July, she advanced to the semifinals of thePalermo Ladies Open but lost her semifinal match toElena-Gabriela Ruse in three sets.[30] She followed this up with her first win at theWTA 1000Canadian Open, defeatingKarolína Muchová in the first round.[31] In September, despite having not qualified for the main draw of theUS Open, Dodin made her return to the top 100. Her last tour-level win was at theLuxembourg Open, where she beatAnastasia Zakharova. Her last tournament of the year was the WTA 500Ostrava Open where she lost toMagda Linette in the opening round.[32] She finished the season ranked No. 101.

Ranked No. 122 at the2023 French Open, she recorded her first major win in six years over wildcard player and compatriot,Séléna Janicijevic,[33][34] avenging her loss inStrasbourg.[35] In the second round, she lost to seventh seedOns Jabeur.[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. 93.
At the2024 Australian Open, she reached the fourth round of a major for the first time in her career, having never got past the second round before, defeating 29th seedZhu Lin,Martina Trevisan and compatriotClara Burel,[37] before losing toZheng Qinwen.[38] As a result, she moved 20 positions up in the top 75 of the rankings.[39]
At the WTA 1000Miami Open, she replaced 29th seedMarta 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 defeatingArantxa Rus,[40] before losing to third seedCoco Gauff.[41]
At the WTA 1000Italian 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.[42] She retired injured while trailing againstIrina-Camelia Begu.[43]

Océane Dodin is known for her ball-hitting power, an attribute common in her game. 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.[44]
She declares herself to be more at ease on hardcourt than on clay, a surface less suited to her game. 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 inVilleneuve-d'Ascq targeting the glance and speed of execution.
In an interview for tennis.com, she said that she prefers herbackhand overforehand, stating that backhand is something that makes her stronger. She also stated that herserve and forehand need improvement.[45]
