Career
2023
In January, Onclin reached the semifinals of the 2023 BW Open in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve where he lost to eventual champion and compatriot David Goffin.[4]
In May, he defeated the higher-ranked Elias Ymer at a Challenger event in Bordeaux in the first round.[5] At the 2023 French Open he defeated Nicholas David Ionel in straight sets in the first round of qualifying before losing to Argentine Thiago Agustin Tirante in three sets.[6] Onclin got his revenge over the Argentine in the qualifying at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, winning in straight sets during his first ever grass-court summer, as his junior years coincided with the grass-court portion of the Tour cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
In October, he received a wildcard in doubles for the European Open in Antwerp, alongside compatriot Michael Geerts.[8] At the same tournament, in the qualifying singles competition, he defeated higher-ranked American Maxime Cressy.[9]
2024: Maiden Challenger final
In May, Onclin reached his first Challenger final at the Prague Open. He lost to the former world No. 35 Jiří Veselý.[10]
