Noelle Porter-Radnoti (born December 18, 1970) is an American former professional tennis player.
Raised in Tustin, California, Porter was the world's top ranked junior in her age group as a 12-year old and earned comparisons in the press to Chris Evert. She had a win over Leslie Allen to make the second round at the 1984 Ginny of San Diego and the following year won the USTA national hardcourt championships, while still only 14.[1]
Between 1988 and 1992 she played collegiate tennis for Pepperdine University on a full scholarship. She was a five-time All-American and reached the singles semi-finals of the 1989 NCAA singles championships.[2]
Porter is married to former long time Pepperdine athletics coach Robert Radnoti.[2]
