Noe, born and raised in Marseille, France, has been immersed in the world of sports since a young age. With a racket in hand since the age of 4, he began his tennis journey and quickly rose through the ranks. Training at the French Federation Center from the ages of 12 to 16, Noe honed his skills and established himself as a formidable force on the court.
As the middle child of 5 boys, Noe developed a love for various sports, including tennis, soccer, and golf. In 2016, he became the first in his family to make the leap across the Atlantic, relocating to the United States to play tennis for the University of Illinois.
Noe's tennis accolades speak volumes about his talent and dedication to the sport. As the #1 Ranked Junior Tennis player in France in 2012, he dominated the national stage, securing three gold medals at the French national championships in both singles and doubles competitions. His collegiate tennis career at the University of Illinois was equally impressive, culminating in a Big 10 conference championship and an Elite 8 appearance at the NCAA Championship, representing one of the top 10 collegiate teams in the country.
In addition to his success in tennis, Noe has also made a name for himself in the world of pickleball. His achievements include winning The Kitchen Open tournament with a $25k prize, clinching the gold medal in 5.0 19+ men's singles at the biofreeze national championships, and emerging victorious in the APP Pro Shootout in Chicago.
Noe's passion for sports knows no bounds, and his remarkable journey from Marseille to the United States is a testament to his unwavering determination and commitment to excellence in both tennis and pickleball.
