Tibo Colson (born 12 July 2000) is a Belgian tennis player. He has a career high ranking of No. 403 achieved on 13 November 2023.[1]
Career[edit]
Colson is coached by Christopher Heyman and former top-100 player Ruben Bemelmans.[2] He trains at the Topsportcentrum Tennis Vlaanderen in Wilrijk, Belgium[3] alongside 2023 Australian Open junior champion Alexander Blockx, and Zizou Bergs.[4][5]
Colson won six junior titles in 2016 and 2017.[6] However, the start of his professional career was be-set by knee injuries, and it wasn’t until he was 22 years-old that he won his first ITF level professional tournament, in October 2022 in Maputo, Mozambique.[7]
In October 2023, he received a wildcard in doubles for the European Open in Antwerp, alongside compatriot Zizou Bergs.[8]
