Tennis sensation Oceane Dodin has turned heads once again, this time by launching an OnlyFans account just months after her much-talked-about breast enhancement surgery. The 29-year-old French athlete, who made waves in September as the first active tennis player to undergo such a procedure, is now taking her career in a bold new direction.
Dodin, whose return to the court was delayed due to an inner-ear condition in late 2024, wowed the tennis community with her new look upon re-entering the competitive scene. Now, she's stepping into the world of OnlyFans, following in the footsteps of other players like Sachia Vickery and Nick Kyrgios. Reports suggest Dodin could rake in more than her entire tennis career earnings – approximately $2.85 million – in just one year on the platform.
“For me, it's good to talk about something else besides tennis, because yes, we are tennis players, but we are also normal people,” Dodin articulated.
Dodin's career was abruptly halted by injury in December 2024, pushing her down to 744th in the WTA singles rankings. Her comeback in September at an ITF tournament marked her return not just to the sport, but also to media spotlight. In a candid interview with RMC Sport, Dodin expressed her long-standing desire for the surgery and how she used her recovery period to fulfill it.
Despite the surgery drawing mixed reactions, Dodin remains unfazed. "Everyone told me: 'You're not going to be able to play'," she recounted. "As if I had put on watermelons," she joked, emphasizing her comfort with her body post-surgery.
Beyond the court, Dodin is eager to be recognized for her multifaceted identity. In an exclusive with the Daily Mail, she reflected on the unexpected attention her surgery attracted, noting: "Yes and no, because in this sport, it's not like usual, nobody has done it before."
With nearly 80,000 followers on Instagram, Dodin is not just a tennis player but a public figure openly discussing issues beyond her sport. “In normal life, people are doing this surgery also, and I don't understand why we are judging something that normal people are doing," she stated, highlighting her belief in the importance of athletes being seen as more than just their professional personas.
