The 28-year-old Dodin is not immediately the most famous name on the tennis circuit, but is someone who already achieved success. For example, the Française has seventeen ITF titles on its record and a WTA title in Québec. Last year Dodin was still in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Her highest ranking on the world ranking is number 46.
Nine months on the side
Dodin, however, has currently dropped to 363rd place. She stood aside for nine months to remedy an annoying ear injury. The Frenchwoman suffered from Vertigo, turning dizziness. As a result, professional tennis was no longer an option. During that absence, she chose to have a breast augmentation executed.
“It’s something I wanted to do for a long time,” Dodin told RMC Sport. “It is true that I have benefited from this break to let the procedure take place. I had always told myself that it was not possible, since you had to rehabilitate about two months after the operation. If you are in the middle of the season … Now I would have had something like:” If I have to stop for six months, I can do what I want to be on my fourth. And then I would rather do it. ” That I did it, I have absolutely no regrets and bothering me. “
Simona Halep
People warned her that breast augmentation could have an impact at her tennis level. “They all said,” You are not going to be able to play. “As if I suddenly had watermelons. They are not small, but it doesn’t bother me when I have tennis. There are also adapted bras. Halep had a breast reduction as a junior, but they were very large. That was a handicap for her. Now I am the first to be a first time.”
Dodin returned this week more than nine months after her last tennis match (December 12, 2024) at the ITF tournament of Reims. She won her first two games, before losing on Friday in the quarterfinals from fellow countryman Manon Leonard.
