KGOTHATSO Montjane bowed out of Wimbledon yesterday with a 3-6 5-7 loss to No 4 seed Ziying Wang of China that ended the South African wheelchair tennis legend’s hopes of adding a sixth Grand Slam crown.

South Africa’s only remaining title hopeful is quad player Donald Ramphadi, who will feature in Saturday's doubles final with British partner Gregory Slade.
Montjane had gone into the grass-court Grand Slam as the defending doubles champion with Yui Kamiji of Japan. The reigning French Open champions bowed out in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, however, losing to the Chinese duo of Wang and Li Xiaohui.
