July 2025 Meet a member: Antonia Lottner, IC of Germany Former professional player Antonia grew up in Düsseldorf, and rose to prominence as a junior, reaching the 2013 French Open girls’ singles final. Turning professional in 2010, Antonia went on to win seven ITF singles and six doubles titles. She achieved a career-high singles ranking of number 128 in 2018 and made main-draw appearances at all four Grand Slam tournaments. Among her career highlights was a breakthrough win over world number 6 Dominika Cibulková at 's‑Hertogenbosch in 2017 and an upset of Belinda Bencic in Lugano in 2019. She also represented Germany in the 2018 Fed Cup. Antonia faced injury setbacks during her career but returned strongly, winning back-to-back ITF titles in 2016. She retired from professional tennis in 2022 and has since shifted her focus to coaching and club work at Rot-Weiß Cologne, where she also plays Bundesliga tennis and padel. Antonia was invited to join the IC of Germany by its President Eva-Maria Schneider in 2023. She didn’t know much about the IC at the time but was attracted by the opportunity to play events with some other former players from around the world. And she has loved being involved ever since. As a former player, what she likes most is the close relationship she has built with the other players she has met – particularly her IC of Germany team – and the chance to play tennis in a fun, team atmosphere. “In professional tennis you’re always alone on the court and you don’t travel as a team – so that’s what I like most about being part of the IC.” Antonia’s IC highlight was playing the IC Week Centenary event in the UK last year in August – and winning the Mercelis Trophy. “Playing at Wimbledon again when there’s no tournament, it’s so pretty and to just walk around without all the people but still so much going on. I loved it – it was just so nice. And then we also won the tournament, so that was even better!” Now also training as an office manager, Antonia continues to inspire younger players through her involvement in the sport at the grassroots level.
