Yui Kamiji, a Trailblazing Wheelchair Tennis Star, Has Her Sights Set on a US Open Win

Kamiji was born with spina bifida, "but we raised her the same way as her sister," said Kamiji's mother, Yoshimi, in an interview with Japanese TV station WOWOW. Kamiji got started in the sport at age 11 after her sister started playing tennis. "I was excited I could play with her on a wheelchair," Kamiji said. Three years later, she had won a national title.
