South African wheelchair tennis star Kgothatso Montjane aims to inspire Africa as she embarks on a historic bid for the double and singles Wimbledon titles. Montjane made history on Friday as she became the first black South African woman to reach the final at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, Montjane will also compete in her first Grand Slam singles final and Wimbledon final after seeing off world number six Ohtani 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-4 in Friday's semi-final. Speaking ahead of Saturday's doubles final, the big-hitting South African hopes to inspire the younger generation. It's the first time a South African has reached a Wimbledon final since Kevin Anderson's loss to Novak Djokovic in 2018.
