Women’s Singles – Title Defense for HELLE or a Comeback for MEN?
With Britt EERLAND, the top favorite, forced to withdraw due to injury, the women’s singles title race is wide open. The top two contenders are:
- Shuohan MEN – A three-time national champion (2018, 2021, 2022).
- Tanja HELLE – The defending champion aiming for her second consecutive title.
With EERLAND out of the competition, both MEN and HELLE have a strong chance of securing the national crown, though surprises from emerging talents cannot be ruled out.
Men’s Singles – Four Top Contenders, Two Rising Stars
The men’s singles event is expected to be highly competitive, with four leading players and two young outsiders in the mix.
Main contenders:
- Gabrielius CAMARA – The top seed and the highest-ranked Dutch player in the draw.
- Milo DE BOER – Defending champion, looking to retain his title.
- Kas VAN OOST – Consistently one of the top Dutch players.
- Barry BERBEN – Previous national champion with a strong competitive record.
Potential surprises:
- Ivan KAHN (17) and Brent RONDE (17) – The youngest players in contention, both considered dark horses with the potential to challenge the favorites.
Doubles and Mixed Doubles – Strong Pairs Ready to Compete
In the doubles events, last year’s champions will aim to defend their titles, but strong opposition is expected.
- Women’s Doubles: COHEN/DE HOOP return as favorites.
- Men’s Doubles: DE BOER/HULSHOF will try to repeat their 2024 success.
- Mixed Doubles: The defending champions COHEN/BERBEN will once again aim for the title.
