Juniors

Schuurs won the junior events of the doubles tournaments at 2011 Australian Open and 2011 US Open.[1]

Professional career

2018–2020: Four WTA 1000 titles and four finals, world No. 7, WTA Finals debut and first SF

She qualified for the 2018 WTA Finals doubles event, partnering Elise Mertens[2] where she reached the quarterfinals.[3][note 1]

2021–2022: Fourth WTA Finals in doubles with fourth different partner and two times semifinalist

She qualified for the 2021 WTA Finals with Nicole Melichar and reached the semifinals for a second time.[3][note 1]

In 2022, she also qualified for her fourth WTA Finals in a row with a fourth different partner, Desirae Krawczyk.[4][5] The pair reached the semifinals, making it the third time for Schuurs.[6]

2023: WTA Tour singles main-draw debut, 5th doubles WTA Finals

Without a singles ranking she qualified at the Guadalajara Open for her first singles main draw at a tour–level on her eighth WTA singles qualifying attempt, getting her first singles ranking in the top 1000 since 2016.[7]

She qualified for the WTA Finals with Desirae Krawczyk for a fifth year in a row that the tournament was played, and for the second time with the same partner.[3][note 1]

2024

Schuurs' first competition of the season was representing the Netherlands in the United Cup, a mixed team competition in Perth, Australia. Although the team's performance was not good, being disqualified in the group stage, Schuurs won both mixed doubles matches in which she participated.[8] Still on the Australian swing, Schuurs participated in the Adelaide International in partnership with Asia Muhammad they reached the quarterfinals.[3][note 1] Next, she entered the Australian Open with a new partner, the Brazilian Luisa Stefani, and they reached the quarterfinals.[3][note 1]

Continuing her campaign on hardcourts, now in the Middle East, Schuurs and Stefani competed at the Qatar Ladies Open where they caught the title without losing a single set.[3][note 1]

Personal life

Schuurs is a daughter of former Dutch international handball player Lambert Schuurs. Her younger brother Perr is a professional football player.[9]

During an interview with the WTA in 2020, Schuurs revealed that she is in a relationship with a woman named Carmen.[10]
