Colette Rosambert-Boegner (French pronunciation: [kɔ.lɛt rozamˈbɛʁ]; née Rosenberg; 10 December 1910 – 17 April 1987) was a French tennis player.[1]
Rosambert was the daughter of Polish Jewish emigrant Willy Rosenberg from Gdańsk and American Madeleine Sinauer, born in New York to protestant German immigrants.
Rosambert learnt to play tennis from the professional Albert Burke in Deauville.
She notably reached the final of the women's doubles at the French Open in 1933, with her compatriot Sylvie Jung Henrotin. The following year, she won the mixed-doubles tournament there, with Jean Borotra. She won the All England Plate in 1933, a tennis competition held at the Wimbledon Championships which consisted of players who were defeated in the first or second rounds of the singles competition.[2]
In 1934, she won the singles title at the French Covered Court Championships.[1]
She was married to journalist Philippe Boegner, son of Marc Boegner.
