Océane Dodin vs Clara Burel preview 

France's Clara Burel produced the biggest win of her career in the second round of the Australian Open when she secured a shock 6-4, 6-2 victory over America’s Jessica Pegula. The world number 51 needed just 70 minutes to dispatch the fifth seed and reach the third round in Melbourne for the very first time. 

The 22-year-old has never made it past the third round at any of the four Slams since turning professional, but excelled on hard courts during her junior career, reaching the Australian Open and US Open final in 2018. She certainly looked at home in front of a huge crowd at the Margaret Court Arena as she dispatched Pegula, and will now be viewed as the favorite to progress when she faces Océane Dodin. 

Despite being the more experienced player, Dodin had never reached the third round at a Grand Slam until this run in Melbourne. She caused an upset in her first match as she beat 29th seed Zhu Lin before defeating Martina Trevisan 6-4, 6-4 to set up this all-French encounter. 

The 27-year-old has never faced her compatriot before and struggled for consistency for a number of years. However, she did win two ITF Circuit tournaments at the end of 2023 to move back inside the world’s top 100 and certainly possesses plenty of power in her backhand. But no matter what happens in this match, France are guaranteed to have an unseeded player in the round of 16.
