Dodinapova needs to rethink her career. She should be Top 50, yet she's progressed nowhere. Either needs a coach who isn't her Dad, or a brain transplant. And soon.
Wasn't she coached by Georges Goven at the end of last season?
I think she should rethink her physical coaching first. She has to work a lot on her footwork and beside that she has to get a proper second serve. She lost 73% of the points on second serve. For a girl this tall that is like a death sentence.
Really pleased to see the promising teenager who's never received a WTA WC in her life, let alone a Slam one, beat the promising teenager who's had Slam WCs handed to her left and right just because of her nationality.
She once received a WC for a $50.000 in Mexico. That's it. I actually really like Océane, but I'm pretty sure Nadia would be in the top 100 by now if she'd had half the oportunities that have been handed do Dodin.
Dodin progressed a lot recently, but seems like she had more results on clay. She is more patient and can keep rallies really better than before. But when the hell clay became her best surface ??! When ?! She was unable to win a single match on clay last year and now she wins only on clay ? Last match won on hard is in march!!! She is on 3 loss in a row on hard, her best surface, but no, no more wins. Something is wrong.
And yes she has to fix her serve and stop be nervous because each time she got nervous she DF and lose her service game. She needs to work with someone else than her dad but he helped her a lot and if she can keep rallies it is because of him and noone else. I really think it went too fast for her, was 800 wta in july 2014 and 130 on december 2014, firsts wins and so on. But now she should have accept all this and moved on.
