Dutch doubles delight
Diede de Groot added to her singles silverware alongside Aniek van Koot with a dramatic 7-6(5), 1-6, 10-8 scoreline facing second seeds Yui Kamiji and Kgothatso Montjane.
The Dutch duo made it five in a row in the women's doubles in Paris, but for Van Koot, Sunday's triumph represented her eighth doubles title here. The 31-year-old first won the doubles trophy at Roland-Garros in 2010 and has witnessed monumental changes in the sport.
"Wheelchair tennis in general has really evolved. We get more attention from the Grand Slams obviously, but also the level of tennis is so much higher. Of course I have been playing tennis for a long time, but our current No.1 Diede, her level is much higher than, for example, than 20 years ago," declared the two-time Paralympic gold medallist.
"I think the top players make each other better, it's getting more professional."
Van Koot was also keen to hail her compatriot Vink's achievements in the quad category.
"I always call him Little Puppy, because little puppies chase the tennis ball wherever they go. He is so keen on playing, and I think it's a delight to see him in the footsteps of Dylan Alcott. He's a great player," she added.
