NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters - Vergeer Continues WInning Streak | 
Stephane Houdet (FRA) and Noam Gershony (ISR) won their first NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters men’s and quad singles titles in Mechelen, Belgium, while Esther Vergeer clinched the women’s singles title for a 14th successive year.
Maikel Scheffers and world No. 3 Houdet completed the round-robin phase of the competition undefeated to progress to the semifinals where they faced Ronald Vink (NED) and Robin Ammerlaan (NED) respectively. Scheffers then overcame the world No. 6 6-3 6-2, while Houdet fought back from a set down to defeat the six-time former champion Ammerlaan 0-6 6-3 6-3. The Frenchman made a better start in the final, securing a straight sets victory over Scheffers 6-4 7-6(2).
Vergeer expended little energy in extending her singles winning streak to an incredible 434 matches. She eased through her round-robin group for the loss of just six games before defeating compatriot and world No. 4 Marjolein Buis 6-0 6-0 in the semifinals. Aniek van Koot upset world No. 2 Jiske Griffioen 6-3 6-4 in the other all-Dutch semifinal to reach her first NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters final, where she fell to the imperious Vergeer 6-1 6-2.
