Gijs is extremely steady in the rally and knows how to win matches. He has made very impressive strides since he has started to become physically stronger in the past two years. With a UTR of 12.11 and a top 60 men's ranking in the Netherlands, he has become one of the college prospects with the most potential. In 2018, Gijs became runner-up in the Dutch National Doubles Championships, and in 2019, he reached his second finals of a national men’s tournament, landing him the #58 spot on the Dutch men’s rankings. In the spring of 2019, Gijs led his club team to a first place in the national hoofdklasse league. He won 7 out of 7 singles matches against multiple top 100 players, leading his team to promotion to the national Eredivisie comprised of the best 8 men's tennis teams in the country. Gijs’ drive, athletic ability and all-round game has much stretch. He is a hard worker, never complains and always gets the most out of every minute of practice. He hopes to become a more aggressive player and reach his potential in a college team with an all-in mindset.
