Facing the Chinese pairing of Xiaohui Li and Ziying Wang in the women's doubles final, Montjane and Kamiji had to dig deep, fighting back from a set down to secure a 4-6 7-5 [10-7] victory.

They reclaimed the trophy they lifted at Roland Garros in 2023. The duo also won the US Open title together in 2023, as well as the Wimbledon crown last year.

Earlier on Friday, in the men's quad doubles final, Donald Ramphadi and Turkish partner Ahmet Kaplan lost to Guy Sasson of Israel and Niels Vink of the Netherlands who earned a 6-3 6-4 victory.

In the women's singles semifinals, Montjane was handed a 4-6 4-6 defeat by No 2 seed Aniek van Koot.

Van Koot, a three-time former champion, progressed to the final this weekend where she will meet Kamiji in the battle for the title.
