Ingrid Neel (born June 16, 1998) is an American-Estonian tennis player. She has won three doubles titles on the WTA Tour, three doubles titles on the WTA Challenger Tour with two singles and twelve doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. On 15 January 2024, she achieved a career-high of No. 36 in the WTA doubles rankings.
Personal life[edit]
Her grandmother is Estonian, who emigrated during World War II from Saaremaa to United States.[1]
In 2017, tennisrecruiting.net ranked her the No. 1 incoming college freshman in the United States. Ingrid attended University of Florida in 2018. As the sole freshman on the top-ranked NCAA Division I Florida Gators women's tennis team, she clinched championship-winning matches for team victories in the finals of Indoor Nationals vs. the University of North Carolina and the finals of the NCAA National Championships vs. Stanford University in 2018.
Career[edit]
2015: Major debut[edit]
By winning the Junior National Doubles Championships in 2015, the United States Tennis Association awarded Neel a wildcard into the women's doubles tournament of the 2015 US Open alongside Tornado Alicia Black where the duo won round one. They were unable to accept the substantial prize money since, at the time, it would have rendered them ineligible for participation in college tennis competition.
2021: Maiden Tour title[edit]
In April 2021, she won her first career WTA Tour title at the 2021 Copa Colsanitas in Bogota, partnering with French player Elixane Lechemia defeating the third seeded pair of Mihaela Buzărnescu and Anna-Lena Friedsam.
2022-24: WTA 125 & 500 titles, top 35[edit]
In July 2022, at Wimbledon with partner Aliona Bolsova, Neel upset multiple major singles and doubles titles holder Samantha Stosur and her partner Latisha Chan in the first round.
Neel won her first WTA 125 trophy, partnering German Vivian Heisen at the 2023 Firenze Ladies Open.[2] At the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, she won her biggest title to date with Ulrikke Eikeri.
Neel won her fourth doubles title at the 2024 Rosmalen Open, partnering Dutch player Bibiane Schoofs.[3][4]
