Diede de Groot finished the year as women’s wheelchair world No. 1 for a fifth time in what was her most ruthless season to date.

The Dutchwoman went unbeaten in singles throughout an entire season for the first time in her career. She picked up 10 titles in total, including victories at all four Grand Slams and the year-ending NEC Wheelchair Singles Masters.

De Groot ends 2022 with an extraordinary 38-0 win-loss record in singles and alongside her partner Aniek van Koot she picked up a further eight titles in doubles, losing just one match all year in the Wimbledon final against Yui Kamiji and Dana Mathewson.

"I am incredibly proud to make back-to-back calendar Grand Slams and end 2022 as year-end No 1 again," said De Groot. "It’s the result of consistency and all the hard work put in by my team and myself. I’m thankful for all the support."

The 25-year-old will go into the 2023 season looking to extend her 74-match winning streak, but has a way to go before getting near legendary countrywoman Esther Vergeer’s 470-match winning run that saw her go undefeated for 10 years.
