US Open junior singles and doubles champion
Robin Montgomery was born in Washington, D.C., in 2004 and trained from the age of six at the Junior Tennis Champions Center in College Park, Maryland, the academy that also produced Frances Tiafoe. A left-hander, she won the under-18 Orange Bowl in 2019, turned professional in 2020 and made her Grand Slam debut as a wildcard at the 2020 US Open. In 2021 she won the US Open junior singles and, with Ashlyn Krueger, the junior doubles on the same day.
Wrist and hip injuries slowed her in 2022 and 2023. Her breakthrough came on grass in 2024, with a first tour quarter-final at 's-Hertogenbosch and a first Grand Slam main-draw win at Wimbledon after qualifying. She reached a career high of No. 95 in June 2025, then missed nine months after wrist surgery.
She returned in April 2026 and in June won her first WTA title at 's-Hertogenbosch as a qualifier ranked No. 484. In September she and Krueger, a wildcard pair, reached the US Open women's doubles final, losing to Kateřina Siniaková and Taylor Townsend 5-7, 6-0, 6-2.

She first came to the Junior Tennis Champions Center at six. Ali Agnamba, who runs player development there, recalled that when she worked on her serve she hit extra serves early in the morning and logged them in a journal. Tiafoe, a friend and mentor, sometimes trains with her.
