What is it like to play at the NEC/UNIQLO Wheelchair Masters, the season finale for the world's elite wheelchair tennis players? Which matches stay embedded in the champions' memories for years? How does it feel to face players whose autographs you once collected? And what was Jiske's secret question for Esther?

While the COVID-19 pandemic ruled out the 2020 edition of both the NEC Wheelchair Singles Masters and UNIQLO Wheelchair Doubles Masters, the ITF is delighted to present this Zoom chat with four 'Dutch Masters':
