Oceane Dodin vs Alice Rame Preview
Oceane Dodin is ranked 737th in the current WTA rankings. However, she is a former Top 50 player. Dodin peaked at a career-best ranking of No. 46 eight years ago. She has only played eight matches this year, coming to Angers, and has a 4-4 record. She was out of action for nine months this season because of health issues that required urgent medical attention.Because of that long hiatus, Dodin’s ranking suffered massive damage, falling over 600 spots, and now must restart from the bottom. It will be some hurdle for the Frenchwoman, but since retiring from her first official tournament of the season in Reims in early October, Dodin has played without any injury issues in her last five matches, making the quarters at the Cherbourg-en-Cotentin ITF.
But currently, she is on a three-match losing streak after falling to Noma Noha Akugue in Petange. This will be Dodin’s fourth career appearance in Angers. She has lost in the first round twice, but made the last eight when she competed there last year.
Alice Rame is ranked 199th in the WTA rankings. She is a 28-year-old France and who only made her Top 200 debut in October. In 63 matches on the ITF this season, Rame has compiled 37 wins and 26 losses. She has played two finals and lost both. One was a W75 in Caserta, but there can be no doubt that her best achievement was making the final at the Rio de Janeiro 125K event in mid-October, although she finished runner-up to Simona Waltert.
