She competed for Great Britain at the Summer Paralympic Games where she gained a bronze medal in the Women's Doubles. 5. Together with her doubles partner, Yui Kamiji of Japan, Jordanne Whiley has achieved a ‘Calendar Grand Slam’ by winning the wheelchair doubles at the Australian Open (2014 and 2015), the French Open (2014), Wimbledon (2014 and 2015) and the United States Open (2014). The partnership also won the Masters Doubles tournament in 2013 and 2014. 6.
