Career
editBabel started playing tennis at five years old after practicing on the Nintendo Wii. After joining the Sarcellois Tennis Club in Val d'Oise, she became France under-13 champion in 2017 and repeated the performance the following year in the under-14 category. She then moved to the National Training Center (CNE) of the Federation in September 2018 where she began to be coached by Noëlle van Lottum.[1] Babel reached the quarterfinals of the girls' singles draw at the 2020 French Open in which she was defeated by Polina Kudermetova. She then won the opening Grade-A junior tournament of the 2021 season, in Criciúma, Brazil.[2]
In May 2021, Babel was awarded a wildcard into the 2021 French Open women's singles, marking her debut at major level.[3]
