Babel started playing tennis at five years old after practicing on the Nintendo Wii. After joining the Sarcellois Tennis club, in Val d'Oise she became France under-13 champion in 2017 and repeated the performance the following year in the under-14 category. She then moved to the National Training Center (CNE) of the Federation in September 2018 where she began to be coached by Noëlle van Lottum.[1] Babel reached the quarter-finals at the 2020 French Open – Girls' singles where she was defeated by Russia's Polina Kudermetova. Babel then won the opening Grade A junior tournament of the 2021 season, in Criciúma, Brazil.[2]
In May 2021, Babel was awarded a wildcard to enter the 2021 French Open women's singles, marking her debut at Grand Slam level.[3]
