Susan Noel

Susan Diana Barham Noel-Powell (June 1912 – October 1991) was an English squash and tennis player. Noel was taught to play squash and tennis by her father Evan Noel, a successful racquets player.

Noel won the British Open three times in a row from 1932 to 1934. She won the final in straight sets on all three occasions. She was also the runner-up at the championship in 1939 when she lost to Margot Lumb, who had also won the British Open for five consecutive seasons (1935 - 1939).

In 1933, Noel won the U.S. National Championships and the Atlantic Coast Women's Squash Championships, defeating Cecily Fenwick in the final for the latter title.

Partnering Jadwiga Jędrzejowska, Noel finished runner-up in the women's doubles at the French Championships in 1936. Noel and Jędrzejowska lost in the final to Simonne Mathieu and Billie Yorke 2–6, 6–4, 6–4.
