South Africa's wheelchair tennis star at Wimbledon: 'I just want to enjoy it'

Kgothatso Montjane is used to making history. A wheelchair tennis player from South Africa, she became the first black African woman to play at Wimbledon in 2018, three years later she became the first to reach a singles final.

She has suffered her fair share of heartbreak losing that final but last month, she made history again, winning in the wheelchair doubles at the French Open with her Japanese partner Yui Kamijin.

She spoke to Newsday's sports reporter Isaac Fanin.
