Nelly Neppach (née Bamberger; German pronunciation: [ˈnɛli] ˈnɛpaːχ]; 16 September 1898 – 7 May 1933) was a German female tennis player. Neppach was the first German female to establish an international reputation. Some weeks after Hitler had become Reichskanzler (30 January 1933), she was forced out of the sport by the Nazi regime. She committed suicide at age 34.
