Storm Sanders (born 11 August 1994 in Rockhampton) is an Australian tennis player.
Sanders has won one singles and six doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 10 February 2014, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 202. On 7 November 2016, she peaked at world number 134 in the doubles rankings.
Sanders debuted on the ITF junior tour in December 2007, and on the senior tour in November 2008. She won her first professional tournament in February 2013.
Sanders began her year ranked 674 in the world. Her first tournament was the 2013 Apia International Sydney, where she received a wildcard into qualifying. She stunned Eugenie Bouchard in the first round in two tiebreak sets, but lost in the second round against Misaki Doi. Sanders then received a wildcard into qualifying at the 2013 Australian Open where she lost in the first round against Yuliya Beygelzimer. In February, after failing to qualify for the McDonald's Burnie International, Sanders celebrated a breakthrough victory, winning the $25,000 Launceston Tennis International ITF tournament. She won through both the qualifying and main draws without dropping a set. She also achieved the rare feat of defeating the top seeds in both the qualifying draw (Mari Tanaka) and the main draw (Olivia Rogowska) en route to victory. Sanders reached the top 500 in the WTA rankings for the first time after the tournament win. A month later, she reached the final of the $25,000 ITF event in Ipswich, Queensland, losing to Jelena Pandžić in three sets.
In July, together with her British partner Naomi Broady, Sanders won the $50,000 2013 FSP Gold River Women's Challenger – Doubles, defeating Robin Anderson and Lauren Embree in straight sets.
