Montjane aims for back-to-back Wimbledon doubles titles
Sunday Tribune
|June 29, 2025
SOUTH African wheelchair tennis star Kgothatso “KG” Montjane is gearing up for the defence of her Wimbledon doubles title, alongside Japanese partner Yui Kamiji, and is hoping for back-to-back Grand Slam wins.
KG is keen to carry the momentum from the defence of their French Open title on the clay of Roland Garros onto the grass courts of the All England Club.
The title in Paris was the fourth Grand Slam win for the South African tennis superstar who recently celebrated her 39th birthday.
They had to dig deep to see off the Chinese pairing of Xiaohui Li and Ziying Wang in the women's doubles final, coming back from a set down to secure a 4-6 7-5 (10-7) victory. Her major victories also include the 2023 US Open.
While she lists the Australian Open as her favourite Slam, Wimbledon has a special place in KG’s heart, and she is keen to add to her legacy at SW19. The wheelchair tennis tournament begins on July 8.
