Melanie Stokke (born 1 October 1996) is a former Norwegian tennis player.
At the age of 15, she moved by herself to Los Alcazares, in Spain, because she considered the tennis facilities in Norway to not be of a high enough standard.[1]
Stokke has won four singles and three doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. On 30 April 2018, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 261. On 30 October 2017, she peaked at No. 348 in the WTA doubles rankings.
Playing for the Norway Fed Cup team, Stokke has a win–loss record of 22–6.[2]
She took a break from tennis 2020, due to a perceived lack of support from the Norwegian Tennis Federation.[3]
