There he achieved the best result in the Junior Grand Slam tournaments in 2014, the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and the second round of the 2015 Australian Open .

In the junior ranking list, van Rijthoven achieved 13th place in March 2015.

Tim van Rijthoven occasionally played on the professional tour from the end of 2013, and achieved his first success in November 2014 when he reached a semifinal in a future . It took until October 2015 before the Dutchman had small successes again: In futures, he managed to reach a semi-final and two finals, one of which he was able to exploit to his first future title. He finished the year at position 600 in the tennis world rankings . At the beginning of 2016, van Rijthoven received a wild card from the tournament management for the qualification of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament , where he was defeated in two sets against Yevgeny Donskoi . He finally had a small breakthrough at the Challenger tournament in Challenger Banque Nationale . Started as a qualifier, he fought his way to the semifinals. The Dutchman was in the top 350 until mid-August, which is why the tournament management of the ATP World Tour tournament in Winston-Salem gave him a wildcard for qualification. Although he lost to Radu Albot in round two , he moved up into the main draw as a lucky loser and thus made his debut on the World Tour. Here he was defeated by Jiří Veselý in three sets. In doubles, the 19-year-old reached four future titles and a Challenger final in Scheveningen . Until the end of the year van Rijthoven was able to stay in the top 400 in singles and doubles.

With the TC Versmold van Rijthoven was promoted to the 2nd tennis league in 2016 .
