P2 Premier Padel Rotterdam ❌

What can I say… 🤯

After rolling my ankle earlier this week, it was a big question mark whether I would even be able to play this tournament.

After a very tough first round from my side, we managed to get our first Premier Padel win in qualifying! 🥹

Round 2 against the 2nd seeds and a completely different match. We went 6-1 up, lost the second set 6-7 and then battled all the way to 5-7 in the third. 🫠

Three match points… and twice we already thought we had won it. No words for this one. What a match, what an experience.

@jortnolten thank you for dragging me through that first match. Honestly, it’s an absolute pleasure standing next to you on court. 💪🏼❤️

@marc_fun thank you for coaching us and being there. Next time, we take the win! 🤝🏼

@premierpadelrotterdam thank you for an amazing experience. Hopefully see you again next year! 🏟️❤️

What a week in Rotterdam. 🇳🇱

Some beautiful memories from the past few weeks 🤍

Celebrating my brother and Kitty on their wedding day 💍, enjoying life with the most amazing girl I could wish for, and feeling grateful to be back on court doing what I love most. 🎾

Now it’s time to focus.

🥈P500 Limbricht🥈

After 4 months on the sidelines with an injury, it finally feels great to be back competing! 🙌

This weekend, Jort and I played the P500 tournament in Limbricht, and I’m really happy to finish with a 🥈 after such a long break.

Huge thanks to @meijer_bram and @menno.nolten for an amazing final. It was a pleasure sharing the court with you! 👏

Great to be back on court with @jortnolten again!🤩

NK 2026 🇳🇱

Always an honor to compete in this event. This year alongside my partner @jortnolten. I really enjoyed your passion, energy, and commitment on court! And thank you @milou_ettekoven for being there on the bench with us.

In the first round, we had to shake off some nerves in the opening set, but we quickly found our rhythm. In the quarterfinals, we faced our friends @kai_groen and @mats_groen . After a hard-fought battle, we unfortunately came up short in the third set, losing 4–6 ❌ Still a tough one to swallow, but we can look back on a great match.

Taking it a bit easier in the coming period as I’ve been dealing with some groin issues. Hopefully more clarity on that later this week 🤞🏻
