Personal life

edit

Van Uytvanck was born in the small town of Grimbergen to René Van Uytvanck and Krista Laemers. She started playing tennis at age five when her older brother Sean introduced her to the game. She has a twin brother named Brett. Van Uytvanck graduated from high school at Sint-Donatus in Merchtem. As a junior, she alternated between training with local coach Sacha Katsnelson and the Flemish Tennis Association, where she was coached by Ann Devries. She admires Roger Federer, and her compatriot Kim Clijsters.[1][2] Van Uytvanck was in a relationship with fellow Belgian tennis player Greet Minnen.[3][4] In July 2023, she married Emilie Vermeiren.[5]

Career

edit

2011: WTA Tour debut

edit

In 2011, she won four ITF singles titles in Vale do Lobo (Portugal), Dijon (France), Edinburgh and Sunderland (both UK). She also reached the final in Tessenderlo (Belgium) where she lost to Anna-Lena Grönefeld.

She played at the Brussels Open where she entered as a qualifier by defeating Margalita Chakhnashvili, Laura Siegemund, and Hsieh Su-wei. She faced Patty Schnyder in the first round of the main draw and defeated her 6–3, 2–6, 6–2. In her next match against a compatriot, Yanina Wickmayer, she ultimately lost 6–7(2), 4–6.[6]

She also qualified for the main draw at 's-Hertogenbosch, where she lost to Alexandra Dulgheru.

2012: WTA quarterfinal

edit

In 2012, she won a fifth ITF singles title in Glasgow, and reached the final in Kaarst (Germany). In February, she debuted in Fed Cup against Serbia, where she was chosen by coach Ann Devries over Kirsten Flipkens in the deciding doubles rubber. Partnering Yanina Wickmayer, they lost the match (and by extension, the tie) in three sets.[7]

She took part in the Brussels Open where she received a wildcard into the main draw. She defeated Ksenia Pervak in her first round match and then beat Chanelle Scheepers in three sets to advance to her first WTA quarterfinals, where she was defeated by top seed and world No. 3, Agnieszka Radwańska, in straight sets. Van Uytvanck went on, having more success on the ITF Circuit.

2013: First WTA Challenger title

edit

In 2013, Van Uytvanck won her first WTA 125 title by winning the Taipei Ladies Open when she defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier in the semifinals, and compatriot Yanina Wickmayer in the final.

2014: Grand Slam debut

edit

She played in the main draw of all four of the Grand Slam tournaments and reached the second round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career.

2015–16: French Open quarterfinal, top 50 debut and injury

edit

In 2015, she reached the quarterfinal of the French Open, which she lost in two sets to Timea Bacsinszky. She reached a new career-high ranking of No. 41 later that year, in October.

However, a growth on her right ankle resulted in her missing a number of tournaments in the 2016 clay-court season, including the 2016 French Open, and her failure to defend her quarterfinalist points from 2015 caused her to fall out of the top 100 in June 2016.[8]

2017: First WTA Tour title

edit

After a long hiatus due to injury, and a comeback, Van Uytvanck won her first WTA title at Tournoi de Québec beating Tímea Babos, in three sets.

2018: Second singles & maiden doubles titles, Wimbledon 4th round, top 40

edit

Van Uytvanck won her second WTA title in February at Hungarian Ladies Open defeating Dominika Cibulková in a long three-set battle in the final.

She eliminated defending champion Garbiñe Muguruza in the second round of Wimbledon, losing just three games after dropping the first set 5–7. It was her first win over a top-10 opponent and arguably the best match performance of her career so far.[9] After a win over Anett Kontaveit in the third round, she lost in the fourth round to Daria Kasatkina.[10] In August 2018, she reached a new career-high ranking of No. 37.

She ended the year winning her first WTA Tour doubles title in Luxembourg, alongside Greet Minnen.

2019–21: Three singles and a doubles titles

edit

In February 2019, Uytvanck successfully defended her title in Budapest, defeating Markéta Vondroušová in the final.[11] In September, she won the Tashkent Open, and she did not drop a set until the final, in which she defeated fifth seed and 2008 champion, Sorana Cîrstea, in three sets.

In February 2020, she narrowly lost her semifinal match in Lyon to 2020 Australian Open champion, top-10 player and eventual champion, Sofia Kenin, in three sets with three tiebreaks.[12]

In 2021, she won her fifth WTA Tour singles title at the Astana Open, with a win over local player Yulia Putintseva in the final.

2024: Retirement

edit

On 19 August, Van Uytvanck announced her retirement from professional tennis.[13][14]

Equipment and apparel

edit

Van Uytvanck previously played with the Prince O3 Tour racquet. She now plays with the Snauwaert Grinta 100 lite, a 100 square inch tennis racquet with 22 mm dual taper beam, 285 g weight. She has a contract with the South Korean sporting goods company Fila apparel.[15]
