Professional career

[edit]

Middelkoop has reached 93 doubles finals in his career, with a record of 51 wins and 42 losses. This includes a record of 14–17 in ATP finals, 15–14 in ATP Challenger finals and 22–11 in ITF Futures finals.

Singles

[edit]

Middelkoop has played most of his singles career on the Futures circuit.

Middelkoop made his ATP Tour singles debut in 2008 at the Ordina Open on the grass courts of 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, when he was granted entry into the main draw as a lucky loser. In qualifying, he received a bye in the first round, then advanced through the second round when opponent Robert Lindstedt of Sweden retired in the third set while trailing 6–3, 4–6, 2–3, but was then defeated in the final round by German Benjamin Becker in straight sets 2–6, 4–6. He entered the main draw as a lucky loser recipient after Finland's Jarkko Nieminen withdrew with a right heel injury, however he was promptly defeated by eventual runner-up Marc Gicquel of France again in straight sets 4–6, 1–6.

Middelkoop made his ATP Tour doubles debut at the 2008 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament held on hard courts in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Middelkoop won his maiden ATP tour doubles title at the 2016 Sofia Open on indoor hard courts in Bulgaria, partnering compatriot Wesley Koolhof. 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.

As a result, he returned to the top 40 in the doubles rankings.

At the 2021 Winston-Salem Open, he won his tenth title partnering Arévalo when they defeated Ivan Dodig and Austin Krajicek in the final.[2] As a result, he reentered the top 30 at a new career-high of World No. 28 on 30 August 2021.
