Contents

De Groot is a 39-time major champion, having won a joint-record 21 titles in singles and 18 in doubles. De Groot is currently on a long winning streak in singles, with her most recent defeat being in February 2021 to Yui Kamiji. [1] During this streak she achieved the first calendar-year Super Slam in tennis history by winning all four major titles, the Paralympic gold medal, and the Wheelchair Tennis Masters title in women's singles in 2021. [2] The following year, she became the first player in any discipline of tennis to defend the Grand Slam and win all four majors in two consecutive years, and did so yet again in 2023. During the 2023 French Open de Groot surpassed 100 consecutive singles match wins. [1]

In doubles, de Groot also completed the Grand Slam in 2019, partnering Aniek van Koot. Apart from her major titles, de Groot has won multiple Wheelchair Tennis Masters titles between 2016 and 2018 in both singles and doubles, as well as gold medals in both disciplines at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics. [3] [4] She was part of the Dutch team that won the World Team Cup on eight occasions between 2011 and 2019.

Career

De Groot was born with unequal leg length and began her wheelchair tennis career at age seven. [5] She started playing on the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour in 2009 as a junior player. [6] During her time with the ITF, De Groot won the Cruyff Foundation Junior Masters in 2013 in singles and doubles. The following year, she won the 2014 Junior Masters in doubles. [7]

De Groot made her first Grand Slam appearance at the 2017 Australian Open.

[15] At the 2019 Wimbledon Championships, de Groot ended her back to back singles wins when she was defeated by Aniek van Koot in the final. [16] In 2021, she won the Wimbledon Single Ladies Wheelchair championship.

In doubles, De Groot was a runner up in the 2017 Australian, French and Wimbledon championships.

[21] [22] Competing in doubles, she won the 2016 Wheelchair Doubles Masters with Lucy Shuker and the 2017 Wheelchair Doubles Masters alongside Marjolein Buis. [23] She has also appeared at the BNP Paribas World Team Cup in consecutive years from 2011 to 2019.
