My sponsors

I am very thankful for my sponsors, who make it possible that I can fulfill my dream of becoming a top-100 player on the ATP tour. My main sponsor is Leads.io, my apparel sponsor is Bidi Badu and my rackets were a gift from MijnRacket.nl
Take a look at them below and see why they are the best in their business.

Michiel Schapers

My current​ trainer and coach is Michiel Schapers, himself a former top-20 player in the world on the ATP tour. Michiel has been my coach on and off since I was 16 and with him I won two national championships at U18 in 2014  and at the seniors in 2020. Michiel is also a trainer at the National Tenniscentre of the KNLTB and is my traveling coach for a number of tournaments each year.
I also owe much to Marcel Petitjean, who has been my trainer since I was 8 years old. Marcel still accompanies me occasionally to tournaments and has frequent contact with Michiel on my progression.
