Océane Babel (born 26 February 2004) is a French professional tennis player.
Babel 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]
