Irina Begu v Oceane Dodin Head to Head
The pair have played each other twice before.
Dodin won at Wimbledon in 2019, but it was Begu who won their match at the Australian Open in January.
Both matches went to three sets.

Begu Pushed Hard by Spanish Qualifier
Although Begu’s first round opponent, Spanish qualifier Marina Bassois, seemed a kind draw on paper, in reality it turned out to be anything but.
The Romanian began well against the world number 211, and two successive breaks put her in control of the first set. Although Bassois claimed one of them back, she was broken again and the first set belonged to Begu.
But events took an unexpected turn when she dropped her own serve at the start of the second set. She had break back opportunities, could not take them, and the match headed into a third and deciding set.
And when the number six seed was broken again, Bassois had a famous victory in her grasp. Unfortunately for her, it was not to be as two successive breaks of serve tilted the momentum firmly in favour of the Romanian. She served out next game.

Dodin Ends Her Losing Streak
Dodin came into this tournament, having not won a match in the last six tournaments she had entered, a run going back almost two months.
She will have been relieved, as much as anything, to have ended that losing streak, and the fact that she did it in straight sets against the Italian qualifier, Matilde Paoletti was an added bonus.
However, the calibre of opponent needs to be taken into account. Paoletti is just 19, ranked 920 in the world, and this was her WTA main tour debut.
In the event she gave a good account of herself, and had already had break points on the Dodin serve before she was broken. The qualifier broke back immediately, but Dodin broke her once more to take the first set.
The pair swapped breaks at the start of the second set, and then again, before Paoletti found herself facing match point on her own serve. She saved that, but two games later, Dodin had two more match points, and she made the second count.
Begu v Dodin Prediction and Tip
Although Begu was made to work hard for her second round place, she will start the clear favourite against Dodin, who was not totally convincing herself in her own first round match, and who has just come off a sustained losing streak.
Tip: Begu to win: 4/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
