Émilie Loit (born June 9, 1979) is a retired French professional female tennis player. She was born in Cherbourg, France.
She rose to fame when she played against American superstar Serena Williams before losing 6–3, 6–7, 5–7 in a tough first round 2003 Australian Open match.
In her career Loit has won three career singles titles: 2004 Estoril, Casablanca and 2007 Acapulco (all on clay) and sixteen doubles titles. However, she had been a shame when she lost to Anastasia Myskina and Vera Zvonareva in penultimate deciding doubles match at FED Cup 2004 with Marion Bartoli; as a result France could not defend their championships & their team leader Guy Forget had to resign; also she was not chosen by the new leader Georges Goven to play in next year (2005) of this tournament; but she came back to the team on 2006.[1]
Emilie's highest WTA Ranking was #27 in singles and #15 in doubles.
On May 24, 2009, right after losing her 2009 French Open first round match to Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky, she announced that she would be retiring from tennis after the end of the tournament.[2]
She is a member of the "generation 1979" alongside Amélie Mauresmo, Nathalie Dechy, Anne-Gaëlle Sidot and Séverine Brémond Beltrame.
In the summer of 2011, she gave birth to a son, Mathias.[3]
