Wheelchair tennis champion Diede de Groot has a new coach: Dennis Sporrel. After an intense and successful ten-year partnership with Amanda Hopmans, De Groot has decided to bring a fresh perspective into her team. Together with Sporrel, she will prepare for and compete in upcoming international tournaments over the coming months.
“I’m incredibly grateful for everything I’ve achieved with Amanda. We’ve shared a truly special journey,” said De Groot. “At the same time, this feels like the right moment for something new. I’m really looking forward to working with Dennis.”
Dennis Sporrel is also excited about the new collaboration: “Diede is a unique athlete with an impressive track record. I’m honored to work with her and eager to see what we can accomplish together.”
With this step, Diede de Groot embarks on a new chapter in her remarkable tennis career.
In the coming weeks, Diede will compete in the grass court tournaments in Eastbourne and the British Open, before heading to Wimbledon (July 8–13) to defend her title.
