Career
2011
In 2011, she won 4 ITF singles titles in Vale Do Lobo (Portugal), Dijon (France), Edinburgh and Sunderland. She also reached the final in Tessenderlo (Belgium) where she lost to Anna-Lena Grönefeld.
She took part in the 2011 Brussels Open where she entered as a qualifier by defeating Margalita Chakhnashvili 6–3, 6–2 (1st round of qualifying draw), Laura Siegemund, 2–6, 6–4, 6–3 (2nd round of qualifying draw) and Hsieh Su-wei, 6–4, 2–6, 6–4 (3rd round of qualifying draw). She faced Patty Schnyder in the 1st round of the main draw and defeated her 6–3, 2–6, 6–2. In her next match against a compatriot, the Belgian Yanina Wickmayer, she ultimately lost 7–6(2), 6–4.[1]
She also qualified for the main draw at 's-Hertogenbosch, where she lost to Alexandra Dulgheru.
2012
In 2012, she won a fifth ITF singles title in Glasgow, and reached the final in Kaarst (Germany). In February, she debuted in the 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 3 sets.[2]
She took part in the 2012 Brussels Open where she received a wild card 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.
2013
In 2013, Van Uytvanck won her first WTA title by winning the 2013 OEC Taipei WTA Ladies Open in which she defeated Dinah Pfizenmaier in the semi-finals and compatriot Yanina Wickmayer 6-4, 6-2 in the final.
2014
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.
