"I had always combined tennis and volleyball when I was young. My dad used to play volleyball, so that's why I did that. My parents once told me I had very good ball skills when I was younger. But that's the only link to tennis I guess. I then had to make a decision when I was 12 because combining the two turned out to be impossible with all the practises. So I picked tennis."

General Interest

General
FOCUSING ON DOUBLES
In 2016 he began focusing on doubles with his partner Sander Gille. "I started playing singles first of course, and signed up in doubles to gain some of that lost money back. Sander [Gille] and I were both top 600 in the world in singles. We were getting into doubles challenger tournaments, but not singles. We had to decide to stop playing singles because we thought that we would make it much further on the doubles tour. We saw ourselves getting to 350 in singles but that's it. We felt there were more opportunities in doubles. Also, the combination is very tough and takes a toll on the body. We had to deal with some injuries so the decision was easily made." (thetennisprevision.com, 16 Nov 2020)

DOUBLES PARTNER
He began teaming with doubles partner Sander Gille in 2013. "We both played college [in the United States of America], he's two years older than me and started on tour two years before me. We know each other well and live close to each other. You get to know the personality of the other person and it's important to act accordingly with that so that the team can perform at its best. I always think that a set doubles partner is better than switching every week. You need to have some sort of connection." (thetennisprevision.com, 16 Nov 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
In 2014 he graduated with a master's degree in business administration from East Carolina University in the United States of America. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jun 2021; piratemedia1.com, 24 Aug 2015)
