Career
[edit | edit source]2019: Orange Bowl winner
[edit | edit source]In August 2019, Montgomery competed in the girls' singles at the US Open where she reached the third round.[6] In September, she represented the U.S. in the final of the Junior Fed Cup, teaming with Connie Ma to win the doubles match against the Czech Republic and secure victory for the US team.[7] In December, she won the "18 and under" title in the 2019 Orange Bowl.[8]
2020: Turned pro, first ITF Circuit title & major debut
[edit | edit source]Montgomery reached the quarterfinals of the 2020 Australian Open girls' singles tournament in January, and in March, she won her first ITF tournament, a $25k event in Las Vegas.[2] As of August 2020[update], she was the No. 5 in the junior world rankings.[6]
Following the break in the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery took part in the Western & Southern Open as a wildcard entrant in the qualifying competition, losing in the first round to Sorana Cîrstea.[9] The following week, she received a wildcard into the main draw of the 2020 US Open — her first Grand Slam appearance.[6] She lost in the first round to Yulia Putintseva.[10]

Montgomery became the first girl to achieve the feat of winning both titles at the US Open since Michaëlla Krajicek in 2004, and was the first American to take the girls' singles title since Amanda Anisimova in 2017.[11]

Notes
[edit | edit source]- ^ a b The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009 until 2024. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
