Alison Van Uytvanck

In 2011, she won four ITF singles titles in Vale do Lobo (Portugal), Dijon (France), Edinburgh and Sunderland (both UK). She also reached the final in Tessenderlo (Belgium) where she lost to Anna-Lena Grönefeld.

She played at the Brussels Open where she entered as a qualifier by defeating Margalita Chakhnashvili, Laura Siegemund, and Hsieh Su-wei. She faced Patty Schnyder in the first round of the main draw and defeated her 6–3, 2–6, 6–2. In her next match against a compatriot, Yanina Wickmayer, she ultimately lost 6–7⁽²⁾, 4–6.

She also qualified for the main draw at 's-Hertogenbosch, where she lost to Alexandra Dulgheru.

In 2012, she won a fifth ITF singles title in Glasgow, and reached the final in Kaarst (Germany). In February, she debuted in Fed Cup against Serbia, where she was chosen by coach Ann Devries over Kirsten Flipkens in the deciding doubles rubber. Partnering Yanina Wickmayer, they lost the match (and by extension, the tie) in three sets.

She took part in the Brussels Open where she received a wildcard into the main draw. She defeated Ksenia Pervak in her first round match and then beat Chanelle Scheepers in three sets to advance to her first WTA quarterfinals, where she was defeated by top seed and world No. 3, Agnieszka Radwańska, in straight sets. Van Uytvanck went on, having more success on the ITF Circuit.

In 2013, Van Uytvanck won her first WTA 125 title by winning the Taipei Ladies Open when she defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier in the semifinals, and compatriot Yanina Wickmayer in the final.

She played in the main draw of all four of the Grand Slam tournaments and reached the second round at Wimbledon for the first time in her career.

In 2015, she reached the quarterfinal of the French Open, which she lost in two sets to Timea Bacsinszky. She reached a new career-high ranking of No. 41 later that year, in October.

However, a growth on her right ankle resulted in her missing a number of tournaments in the 2016 clay-court season, including the 2016 French Open, and her failure to defend her quarterfinalist points from 2015 caused her to fall out of the top 100 in June 2016.

After a long hiatus due to injury, and a comeback, Van Uytvanck won her first WTA title at Tournoi de Québec beating Tímea Babos, in three sets.

Van Uytvanck won her second WTA title in February at Hungarian Ladies Open defeating Dominika Cibulková in a long three-set battle in the final.

She eliminated defending champion Garbiñe Muguruza in the second round of Wimbledon, losing just three games after dropping the first set 5–7. It was her first win over a top-10 opponent and arguably the best match performance of her career so far. After a win over Anett Kontaveit in the third round, she lost in the fourth round to Daria Kasatkina. In August 2018, she reached a new career-high ranking of No. 37.

She ended the year winning her first WTA Tour doubles title in Luxembourg, alongside Greet Minnen.

In February 2019, Uytvanck successfully defended her title in Budapest, defeating Markéta Vondroušová in the final. In September, she won the Tashkent Open, and she did not drop a set until the final, in which she defeated fifth seed and 2008 champion, Sorana Cîrstea, in three sets.

In February 2020, she narrowly lost her semifinal match in Lyon to 2020 Australian Open champion, top-10 player and eventual champion, Sofia Kenin, in three sets with three tiebreaks.

In 2021, she won her fifth WTA Tour singles title at the Astana Open, with a win over local player Yulia Putintseva in the final.

On 19 August, Van Uytvanck announced her retirement from professional tennis.
