Alison Van Uytvanck is a Belgian professional tennis player who was born on March 26, 1994, in Vilvoorde, Belgium. Introduced to the sport by her brother aged 5, she was soon whisked into the Belgian tennis system, ready to work her way up in the hope of making it pro.
It was not long before she was getting her name out there on the WTA Tour, with the Belgian making her main draw debut after coming through a tough qualifying campaign at the WTA 500 event in her capital, Brussels, in 2011. It was at this same tournament that, a year later, she proved the progress she had made by reaching the quarter-final.
This meteoric rise continued across the following seasons, and before she knew it, the Belgian had made her main draw debut at all four of the Grand Slams in 2014. In the same season, she reached her maiden semifinal at professional level, losing only to number 3 seed Karolina Pliskova at the Hong Kong Open.
By then a regular on tour, it was time for her breakthrough tournament. It came at the 2015 Roland Garros, with the Belgian going on a stellar run to the quarter-final. Her progress was stumped in 2016, however, due to injury, but her comeback the following season went as well as it could have, with her winning her maiden WTA title at the Quebec Open against Timea Babos in the final.
Once she had won her first, it opened the floodgates for more. Her second career title did not take long to arrive when she won it at the Hungarian Open in 2018 before she went on to haul in two more the following season – in Budapest and Taskent.
During this time, she reached her career-high ranking of world number 37 (2018). She did not let this success get to her head and remained focused on winning more.
Her fifth WTA singles title came in 2021 in Astana. During this golden period of her career, she also reached the final of two doubles tournaments, winning the final of the 2018 and 2021 editions of the Luxembourg Open.
