Jordanne Whiley has won her first Wimbledon wheelchair doubles title with her tennis partner Yui Kamiji.

The Paralympian and former Harrow College student won 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 on Court 17 against Dutch duo Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot on Sunday 6 July.

Whiley, who studied sign language at Harrow College, said she was thrilled at winning the slam.

“Wimbledon was fantastic and the crowds were amazing. I've wanted to win Wimbledon since I was a little girl so to finally do it is unbelievable. Hopefully more people will recognise wheelchair tennis now.”

Whiley and Kamiji have already won the Australian Open and French Open and will now take part in the US Open.

Last May, Whiley took home the silver medal, alongside teammate Lucy Shuker, at the World Team Cup final in Antalya, Turkey.

Whiley also competed in the Paralympic Games in London in the 2012 and took home the bronze medal in the women’s wheelchair tennis doubles. It was the first time a British woman has medalled in the sport.
