I see Oceane had to take a wildcard.
Her ranking is false and she got to the SF at Manchester.
I would have Oceane as favourite.
PS Hannah bring your earphones, she is a very noisy player...

Yes, at those odds above, and with her middle ear 'injury' supposedly better, I would bet on Océane too, especially on indoor hard courts in winter

(she says she still can't play in very hot, sunny conditions - the middle ear thing is not compeltely cured)

But Océane's results recently haven't been amazing - yes, she made the SFs in Manchester - but Millie Rajecki came very close to beating her - and Océane's results before that haven't been amazing

But, again, I think Hannah's odds are slightly flattering 

Mind you, Hannah was the underdog yesterday too

An up-and-down first set, with some double faults when she didn't want them, although some very good serves too, saw Hannah lose the first set 3-6

But the second set was tighter - with a few outrageously good shots from Hannah, some rescues when break points down, and then - right at the end - Océane seemed to have a rush of blood to the head, played a horrible dropshot, when there was no call for it whatsoever, dumped it half way up the net, and Hannah took the second set 7-5

Hannah lost the 1st set 3-6, 2nd set got to Dodin serving at 5-6 and after winning most of her service games easily she relaxed, made some errors, allowing Hannah to break to take the set 7-5.

Hannah lost the first set 6-3 and needed to save four breakpoints at 4-4 in the second (3 doubles in the game), but came through 7-5 to force a decider

Dodin seems to be upset, gets broken and produces lots of words and gesticulating.

 Yes. To be fair to her, and unlike a lot of the other French women, she's not swearing like a trooper - just a lot of 'it's not possible, I'm so awful, I've hit the same ball out four times in a row'.....

Hannah just kept every thing tight with very few errors and watched Dodin implode at the other end.
3-6 7-5 6-2

Oh, happy days

Well done, Hannah

She 'stole' that second set - and then had all the momentum

Océane is a one-trick pony but she does her one trick very well - the balls are flat and hard and deep

But Hannah wasn't too fazed, was pretty good at absorbing the power, redirecting, moving up the court, not getting forced back - and (key) kept landing her first serves

Hannah was much more impressive today against the very chatty Oceane. Great win, should give her lots of confidence.

Trying to watch this and JPJ at the same time, nearly at the same points of the match, was very nerve-wracking!

 That's an interesting match-up one a 16 year old with a JCH=1 and the other an 18 year old with a JCH=2.

Up to live 535.
Another win will move Hannah in to the top 500, thanks to her Wimbledon WC putting her at the top of those on 108 points.

 Jeline thrashed Hannah at the US Open last year .....

Will be interesting to see how things have developed
