    Athletic Information

    Thijs is an aggressive baseline player who can also be effective as a counterpuncher. Opponents are forced to work hard both physically and mentally to win points against him, as he covers the court well, retrieves a high volume of balls, and applies constant pressure. His physical conditioning and willingness to engage in long rallies make him a reliable competitor in team match situations.

    He is a fast, energetic, and highly competitive player. His forehand is a clear weapon and serves as the foundation of his attacking game. Thijs competes with great intensity and perseverance, consistently fighting for every point. Mentally, he shows strong resilience and composure; even when trailing in matches, he remains focused, positive, and determined to find solutions.

    With continued technical and tactical development, Thijs has the potential to develop into a complete and versatile all-around player. His solid baseline foundation provides a strong platform to further expand his all-court game.
