Ingrid Charlotte Dreschler (née Metzner; born 27 May 1937) is a Brazilian former tennis player.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Metzner comes from a family of German descent. She was raised in São Paulo from the age of nine and trained at the local Esporte Clube Pinheiros.[1]
Metzner represented Brazil at the 1955 Pan American Games and won a bronze medal in the singles, as well as a bronze medal in the doubles, partnering Maria Bueno.
