July 7, 2024

Britain had a Wimbledon winner to celebrate this weekend with Jordanne Whiley being crowned wheelchair doubles champion alongside her partner Yui Kamiji of Japan.

Whiley and Kamiji defeated Dutch pair Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot 2-6 6-2 7-5.

They avenged their defeat from the 2013 final and now have the chance to complete the career Grand Slam at the US Open, having already won at the Australian and French Open this year.

Whiley said of her success: “I have literally dreamt of winning Wimbledon since I was a little girl and it does feel like my dreams have come true.

“I really wasn’t sure which way it was going to go but I think when Aniek’s serve started to go in the third we felt we had to take advantage.

“To be a three-time grand slam champion with Yui is just an amazing feeling. We love playing together and can’t wait to play at the US Open now to see if we can lift them all!”
