An unmissable event on the French calendar, the $60,000 in Grenoble is a success for Les Bleues. Even before the start of the quarter-finals, the Isère event is sure to have a Habs in the final. It will be either Océane Dodin or Jessika ponchet. Number 112 in the WTA, Oceane Dodin (n°2) can dream of a two-digit ranking in the very short term. After dismissing the German Kathleen Katev and the Italian Giulia Gatto-Monticone, she rejected Audrey Albié, 229th worldwide. This time, the match was less close (6-1, 6-2) than January 29 in the $60,000 final at Andrézieux.
Elsa Jacquemot disappointed not to have had a WC in Lyon
On his side, Jessica Ponchet (n°7) only took 75 minutes (6-1, 6-4) to dominate Margaux Rouvroy, 419th in the world. The Tremblay-en-France player had an excellent tournament with a performance against Elsa Jacquemot (n°4).
A fatal Russian left-hander for Clara Burel
Rise to 105th place in the world thanks to her career in Lyon, Clara Burel had the opportunity to re-enter the Top 100 in the event of a good run in Isère. But the Breton, after two good laps against Belarus Kristina Dmitruk and the Russian Maria Timofeeva, got stuck facing the Russian Oksana Selekhmeteva (n°5), semi-finalist in Andrézieux. Annoying because she got three match points in the second set (3-6, 7-5, 62).
