Sándor Noszály (Template:Lang-hu, ; born March 16, 1972 in Budapest) is an active tennis player from Hungary, who is a five times Hungarian Champion in singles and 16 times adding the doubles.

Career

Noszály qualified Hungary for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Four years earlier, in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics he was partnering László Markovits in the doubles draw, where they fell in the first round. He was the member of the Hungary Davis Cup team who advanced to the World Group in 1993 and 1995 where he won two singles against Argentines Guillermo Pérez-Roldán and Alberto Mancini and one victory over Australia (Todd Woodbridge) respectively. In July 1995 he advanced to the quarterfinal of Kitzbühel Open by defeating Carlos Moyá in the previous round losing to clay-specialist Thomas Muster. Three months later he reached the Semifinal of the 1995 Bucharest Open, surpassing Albert Costa and Sergi Bruguera, facing Thomas Muster in a re-match, who overcame him in two sets. It was that time when he broke into the ATP top 100 peaking at World No. 95.

Personal life

He was born to sr. Sándor Noszály, a coach and former high jump athlete and to Anna Steitz, a PE teacher and 2-time national champion high jumper. His sister Andrea Noszály (b. 1970) became a professional tennis player as well and represented Hungary 5 times in the Fed Cup. He graduated in 1990 at the Petõfi Sándor Gimnázium in Budapest.

He has one daughter called Szonja (b. 2003). He wasn't married and parted ways with his girlfriend just before participating in a dating reality TV show the same year. He began a relationship with Hungarian soap opera actress Heni Novák with whom he moved to the United States in 2010.

Coaching and other ventures

Simultaneously with playing he began coaching Hungarian juniors and the Hungarian national team, including László Fonó and György Balázs whom he escorted to the 2003 French Open to see his protégé winning the doubles title partnering Dudi Sela. Shortly after Noszály won his fifth National Championship title following his nine year gap in senior professional tennis.

Later that year he played the role of The Bachelor in the Hungarian version of the well known TV series. He now lives in the United States and coaches to this day.

Playing style

He's known for his serve-and-volley playing style. His preferred court is clay.
