LONDON - Japanese top seed Yui Kamiji completed the career Golden Slam on Saturday as she claimed her maiden Wimbledon women's wheelchair singles crown with an emphatic 6-0, 6-0 victory over No. 2 seed Diede de Groot of the Netherlands.
With her breakthrough win at the All England Club, Kamiji has collected all four Grand Slam titles, as well as Paralympic gold at the 2024 Paris Games.
The 32-year-old, who won her first major at the 2014 French Open, became the first Japanese woman to complete the career Golden Slam.
Shingo Kunieda and Tokito Oda previously achieved the feat in men's wheelchair singles.
A tearful Kamiji said she was moved by having support from "so many people" on the way to her career milestone.
"It means a lot for me," she said. "I'm just really, really happy to share this moment together."
Top seed and defending champion Oda will face No. 2 seed Alfie Hewett of Britain in the men's final on Sunday.
Oda and Argentina's Gustavo Fernandez were beaten by British top seeds Hewett and Gordon Reid in the men's wheelchair doubles final 2-6, 6-1, 6-2.
