second pro singles title


In December I played my last tournaments of 2022 in Sharm el Sheikh (Egypt). It was a very good trip for me as I won my second singles title. In the first week I lost in the in the semis to the later champion and also made semis in doubles. The second week was even better. I played 9 matches and won all of them. On December 25th (Christmas day) I played the finals against Jasmine Conway from Great Britain. I lost the first set but stepped it up in the second and third set. It was a very good battle which I won 4-6 6-4 6-4. What a way to finish the 2022 season winning my second pro singles title. Thanks a lot to my team and everyone who's been supporting me. I'm very excited for what 2023 has in store for me! 

15k doubles title


After a couple of good tournament weeks close to home I went to play a 15K in Casablanca. Unfortunately, in singles I was very unlucky to play the later winner in the first round. In doubles I teamed up with Laura Hietaranta from Finland. It was our first time playing together but we made a very good team. We faced our first challenge in the semi finals which we won in a super tiebreak. In the finals we played Pospelova/Drazic. It was a great battle which we won in another supertiebreak (10-8). Very happy to finish this week with my 14th doubles title!

first pro singles title


Last week I played the $15.000 in Wanfercée-Baulet (BEL). In the first two rounds I played long three set matches. From the quarter-finals I started to play really well and won 6-1 6-2 and in the semis 6-3 6-1. In the finals I played Amelie van Impe (BEL) and beat her 6-1 6-4 to win the title! I'm super happy to hold my first pro singles title after a good week. Thanks so much to my team and everyone who kept believing!

runner-up nationals


In December I played my last tournament of 2021 at the nationals in The Netherlands. It was a very good week for me as I made it to the finals in both singles and doubles. In the first two rounds I managed to come back and win after being one set down against Rose-Marie Nijkamp (2-6 6-4 6-4) and Isis vd Broek (1-6 6-0 6-2). In the semis I played against Anouk Koevermans. It was a good fight and I won 7-5 4-6 6-2. Unfortunately, there as no crowd allowed but the finals was broadcast on national tv so that was a really cool experience. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the national title as I lost to Suzan Lamens (265WTA) in the finals. Despite the loss it was still a very good week and my best results at the nationals so far. In doubles I played with Eva and we also made it to the finals. On our way to the finals we beat Sarah van Emst/Elysia Pool and Kristen vd Heijden/Sophie Schouten. In the finals we lost to the Tran sisters. Not the way I wanted this week to end but it was still a very good tournament ending as runner-up in both singles and doubles.

25k and 15k doubles title


In the end of the year I had some more good results in doubles. In September, I managed to win another 25K title together with Eva. We went to play for three weeks in South Africa. It was my first time in South Africa so it was a good first experience ;). We had some really good wins over high ranked players and in the finals we beat Amina Anshba and Vlada Koval 6-4 6-4. The week after we also reached the finals but lost in a really tight match to Jenny Duerst and Nina Stadler 7-6 5-7 9-11. Overall a very good trip in doubles. Not long after South Africa I went to Sharm El Sheikh to play a couple of 15K tournaments. I played doubles with Priska Nugroho from Indonesia. It was our first time playing together but we made a pretty good team. The first week we lost in the semis to the later champions but the second week we stepped it up and won the title. In the finals we played really well and beat So-Ra Lee and Anna Ureke. Very happy to finish the year with doubles title no. 11. 

first 25k doubles title


On July 18th 2021 the 25K in Georgia started. In singles I had to play two rounds of qualifying. I won both rounds and qualified for the main draw. On Tuesday I had to play singles and doubles with Eva. In singles I played a very good match against Ziva Falkner (SLO) and got through to the second round. Few hours later, Eva and I played doubles against two Georgian girls and we won 6-2 6-3. The next day I lost to the third seed Okamura in singles. In doubles, we continued our winning streak by beating both Kawamura/Kozaki and Cavalle-Reimers/Vicens Mas. On Saturday we played the doubles final against Bosio/Moratelli. It was a very tight match but in the end we got the W (3-6 6-4 13-11). Very happy to have won my first 25K title! First of many :)

This was a tough match but it helped me to determine what I can do to improve myself. In doubles, I played with Lodikova and we reached the quarter finals. The second week I beat the 4th seed in singles and won another round to make it to the quarter finals. In the quarters I lost to the later champion of the tournament. Although, I didn't win I'm still happy with the progress I've made this week. In doubles, I played with Eva Vedder and we reached the semi-finals. The third week I made it to the second round in singles after two good matches. In doubles I teamed up with Eva again and we got our 6th doubles title together. In the finals we beat Sema and Davis 6-0 6-4. Overall it was a really good trip and I'm already looking forward to the next one! 

 

doubles title no. 7


In January I played three $15.000 futures in Spain. The first two I played in Manacor at the Rafa Nadal Academy. Unfortunately, I lost early in singles both weeks. In doubles I did way better; the first week I didn't play but the second week I made up for it by winning the tournament. Me and my partner Francesca Jorge (POR) played very well and in the finals we beat Rosatello and Yashina 6-7 6-3 10-2. I'm very happy to have won my 7th doubles title!

In the first round I got a 6-1 6-4 win over the National Champion of 2019 Quirine Lemoine. In the quarters I played another good match that I won in three sets. The semifinal was a great battle against Richel Hogenkamp (outdoor National Champion 2020). After a long and good match I lost with a score of 4-6 6-4 5-7. In the end it was a very good tournament ending as the number 3/4 of the Netherlands. 

first pro singles final


The last few months I have played tournaments at many different places. I was very happy to compete again after a pretty long 'break'. 

 

In November I got a very good result in Lousada (Portugal) making it to the semifinals after starting in de qualies. On my way to the finals I got some great wins over top 400 players. Unfortunately I lost in the semis after a good match (2-6 6-7) to the later tournament winner. Despite the loss I'm very happy with my performances this week!

 

After the tournament in Lousada I went to Tallinn (Estonia) to play another 15K. I had some very long battles in the beginning of the tournament but I started playing better and better. In the quaterfinals I had my best result so far by beating Eikeri (WTA257) 6-4 6-3. In the semifinals I got another great win over Makarova (WTA539) 6-2 6-1. In the finals I lost to Kamilla Bartone (JR7) 3-6 4-6. Not the way I wanted this week to end but still very happy to have made my first pro singles final!
