Paralympic Games, Tokyo and Paris
From Aalsmeer, Spaargaren says tennis is what he has done his whole life. He played his first Paralympics in Tokyo in 2021 and his second in Paris in 2024. His partnership with the Spaniard Martín de la Puente brought his biggest titles: Wimbledon in 2025, where they beat the defending champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid in the final, and the first wheelchair doubles at the Paris Masters later that year. In singles he reached the semi-finals of the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam in February 2025 and, ranked No. 9, won the grass title at Eastbourne in June, beating the top seed Gustavo Fernández. In 2026 he and de la Puente lost the British Open doubles final at Roehampton to Hewett and Reid 6-4, 4-6, 11-9 and the Wimbledon semi-final to Gustavo Fernández and Tokito Oda.

The person behind the player.
Paris 2024
Before his second Paralympics he explained what the game meant to him: "Tennis is wat ik mijn hele leven al doe en wat ik nog heel veel jaren wil blijven doen," tennis being what he had done his whole life and wanted to keep doing for many more years. Asked about a medal, he was plain: that was why he was going, to win.

At the ABN AMRO Open he had lost to Alfie Hewett in each of the two previous years. This time Hewett withdrew at the last minute, Spaargaren moved up to fourth seed and beat Casey Ratzlaff 6-4, 6-3 to reach a semi-final against the top seed: his own doubles partner, Martín de la Puente.

In the first round he met Joachim Gérard, playing his last French Open, against whom he had won once in seven matches. At 5-all in the second-set tiebreak a Gérard shot clipped the net cord, hovered and dropped back on Gérard's side. "I got a bit lucky," Spaargaren admitted after winning 6-4, 7-6.

The first set of the final lasted 79 minutes and went to a tiebreak. The crowd was loud for Hewett and Reid, who led 3-1 in the second, but the Dutch-Spanish pair won it 7-5. "You never want to finish the week with a loss," Reid said afterwards.

When the Paris Masters staged wheelchair events for the first time, he and de la Puente met Hewett and Reid again in the doubles final and led 6-2, 3-2 when Hewett had to stop. "We knew we had to be ready because they love to attack," Spaargaren said, adding that they had been fully in control until then.
