Early life
Alice Tubello was born on 30 January 2001 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and grew up in nearby Saint-Genès-Champanelle, in the Puy-de-Dôme department. Both of her parents practiced judo, and she has an older brother who also played tennis. She began playing tennis at around the age of four at a local club in Saint-Genès-Champanelle, following the example of her brother. The tennis courts were located near their primary school.
At the age of six, Tubello joined the Stade Clermontois tennis club, where she trained for six years. She subsequently followed her coach to the CUC for one year before taking private lessons and joining the tennis section of AS Montferrand in 2016. As a teenager, she followed an adapted educational programme with private tutors to accommodate her tennis training. Alongside tennis, she practiced several other sports, including judo, boxing and triathlon. She later pursued a degree in sports sciences at Clermont Auvergne University, combining university studies with her professional tennis career.
Career
2024: ITF consistency
After slow start in her senior career, in 2024, Tubello had a breakthrough year, marking her best season to date. Competing primarily on the ITF Circuit, she showcased improvement and consistency by capturing multiple titles and rarely being eliminated before quarterfinals. During the March–April period, she has made 14 consecutive wins that give her two titles in Le Havre (a W15 tournament) and Bujumbura (a W35 tournament), respectively. Her winning streak then was stopped with the loss at another W35 tournament in Bujumbura. A month later, she has won another W35 title, this time in Sopó. In late June, she reached final at the W35 Périgueux tournament.
As a wildcard player, she attempted the French Open qualifying and reached second round of qualifying. The first round match win was her first at any Grand Slam.
2026: Grand Slam tournament debut
Tubello was given a wildcard entry to make her major main-draw debut at the French Open, losing to Donna Vekić in the first round.
