No double for Océane Dodin at the $75,000 Pétange. The Northerner, who put her participation in the Australian Open, won big WTA points. As proof, she gained six places to appear in 104th place. The explanation is simple: as the Luxembourg tournament was $35,000 last year, it shifted into the positive. Opposed to the Russian on Saturday Maria Timofeeva – who had taken advantage of the package Belinda Bencic to rest – she knew how to hit hard and precise (7-6, 6-1). In the final, this Sunday, she was opposed by Celine Naef209 WTA. The Swiss won 6-2, 6-4.

Bencic, two victories and then leaves
Belinda Bencic has lost none of his talent. The Swiss, back in competition for ten days after giving birth to her first child, has already won her third match, Thursday evening, against the Ukrainian Veronika Podrez (17 years old). A success after almost 2h30 of combat and an end to the match at 10:30 p.m. (3-6, 7-5, 6-3). Without the reason being revealed yet, the 27-year-old withdrew in the morning. She therefore did not play her quarter against Maria Timofeeva. Positive point of the week: she did not lose, and found herself 911th in the WTA rankings. She should now join her selection to compete in the Billie Jean King Cup (Switzerland will challenge Serbia from November 15 to 16 in the play-off).
