Houkes wins in his backyard, next stop: the world top

As a little boy, Max Houkes already walked around the Dr. Van Leeuwentournament. Although he sees little of the matches, the blond boy prefers to spend the whole day with a racket in his hands on the mini field behind the clubhouse. That dedication has ensured that on Whit Monday, as an adult, he is in the final of the largest tennis tournament in the North.
