Biography
A right-handed player from Limburg, Gerards was the Dutch under 18s champion at the age of 13 and was a junior quarterfinalist at the 1999 French Open.
Most of her professional career was spent on the ITF circuit, reaching a best ranking in singles of 207 in the world. She made WTA Tour main-draw appearances at the 1999 Sanex Trophy in Knokke-Heist and 2000 Belgian Open, both times as a wild card.

When she returned to the Fed Cup team in 2009 it was as a singles player and she won one match, over Claudine Schaul of Luxembourg.
