South African wheelchair tennis star Donald Ramphadi reached his first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open Wheelchair Championships at Melbourne Park on Wednesday.
Ramphadi and his Brazilian partner, Ymanitu Silva, upset second seeds Andy Lapthorne of the United Kingdom and American David Wagner in straight sets (7-5, 6-3) in the first round of the four-pair doubles draw to reach the final. It was sweet revenge for Ramphadi who lost to Lapthorne and Wagner in the 2022 Australian Open doubles semi-final.
