Noëlle van Lottum

Noëlle van Lottum (born 12 July 1972, Hoogland) is a Dutch-French coach and former professional tennis player active mostly in the 1990s.

Van Lottum was national youth champion both in the Netherlands and France. In terms of tennis nationality (which is only one country at a time), she switched from representing Netherlands to France before turning pro. She then played on the WTA Tour from 1987 until 1999, winning one singles and one doubles title. Her career-high singles ranking was World No. 57 (reached in January 1993) and her career-high doubles ranking was World No. 59 (reached in September 1992). With Virginie Buisson, she holds the record for the longest female match in the French Open; in the first round of the 1995 edition she lost to Buisson after 4 hours and 7 minutes.

Van Lottum has been the owner and director of a tennis school in the Netherlands—and since 2023 working as Head Women’s National Coach on youth development in the Montreal grounds of Tennis Canada.

She is the older sister of tennis player John van Lottum.
