Wesley Koolhof

Wesley Koolhof (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋɛsli ˈkoːlɦɔf]; born 17 April 1989) is a Dutch former professional tennis player who was ranked World No. 1 in doubles. He is a two-time Grand Slam champion, having won the 2023 Wimbledon Championships in men's doubles with Neal Skupski and the 2022 French Open in mixed doubles with Ena Shibahara.

Koolhof also finished runner-up in men's doubles at the 2020 and 2022 US Opens, alongside Nikola Mektić and Skupski respectively. He has won 21 doubles titles on the ATP Tour, including the 2020 ATP Finals with Mektić and six at Masters 1000 level. Koolhof became world No. 1 for the first time in November 2022, becoming the fourth Dutchman to attain the top ranking in doubles after Tom Okker, Paul Haarhuis and Jacco Eltingh, and ending the year as joint No. 1 alongside Skupski. In singles, he reached his career-high ranking of world No. 462 in August 2013.

Koolhof has represented the Netherlands in the Davis Cup since 2019 and also competed at the 2020 Olympic Games partnering Jean-Julien Rojer and at the 2024 Olympics partnering Tallon Griekspoor. He was part of the team that reached the Davis Cup final in 2024 and the quarterfinals in 2022 and in 2023, the Netherlands' best performances in the competition since 2005.

He is the son of the late Dutch international footballer Jurrie Koolhof, and the elder brother of Dean Koolhof.[citation needed]

Koolhof married former WTA tennis player Julia Görges in December 2024 in Arnhem.

Koolhof won his maiden ATP tour doubles title at the 2016 Sofia Open on indoor hardcourts in Bulgaria, partnering compatriot Matwe Middelkoop. The pair defeated Adil Shamasdin and Philipp Oswald in a third set tie-breaker 5–7, 7–6(11–9), [10–6] in the championship match to capture the title.

Koolhof teamed up with New Zealand player Artem Sitak mid-year in 2017. They reached the final at the 2017 BB&T Atlanta Open, losing to the Bryan brothers, and lost in the first round at the US Open before winning a Challenger event in Szczecin, Poland, and losing another ATP final, this time at the 2017 Moselle Open in Metz, France, to Julien Benneteau and Édouard Roger-Vasselin.

Starting the new 2018 year in Brisbane, Sitak and Koolhof lost in the semi-finals to Leonardo Mayer and Horacio Zeballos. They lost in the first round in Auckland to Michael Venus and Raven Klaasen, and then 7–6(5), 4–6, 4–6 in the second round of the Australian Open to the eventual winners, Oliver Marach and Mate Pavić.
