In August 2019, Montgomery competed in the girls' singles at the US Open where she reached the third round.[7] In September, she represented the U.S. in the final of the Junior Fed Cup, teaming with Connie Ma to win the doubles match against the Czech Republic and secure victory for the US team.[8] In December, she won the "18 and under" title in the 2019 Orange Bowl.[9]
2020: Turned pro, first ITF Circuit title & major debut

Following the break in the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery took part in the Western & Southern Open as a wildcard entrant in the qualifying competition, losing in the first round to Sorana Cîrstea.[10] The following week, she received a wildcard into the main draw of the 2020 US Open — her first Grand Slam appearance.[7] She lost in the first round to Yulia Putintseva.[11]
2021–2022: US Open junior singles, doubles titles, WTA 1000 debut
[edit]She made her WTA 1000 debut in the main-draw of the 2021 Miami Open as a wildcard entrant, but lost to Magda Linette.[12] At the 2021 US Open, Montgomery defeated Kristina Dmitruk in straight sets in the girls' singles final to win her first major singles title.[13] She followed this victory a few hours later with her first major doubles title. She and partner Ashlyn Krueger defeated fellow American duo, Reese Brantmeier and Elvina Kalieva, in three sets.[14] Montgomery became the first girl to achieve the feat of winning both titles at the US Open since Michaëlla Krajicek in 2004, and was the first American to take the Junior singles title since Amanda Anisimova in 2017.[15] At the same tournament, she also received a qualifying wildcard for the women's singles event.[16]
Montgomery received a wildcard for the 2022 Miami Open.[17] She qualified for the main-draw at the 2022 San Diego Open, but lost to sixth seed Coco Gauff in the first round.[18]

[edit]In February 2023, Montgomery qualified for the inaugural ATX Open in Austin, Texas, but lost to CoCo Vandeweghe in the first round.[19] She received a wildcard entry for the main-draw of the Miami Open,[20] where defeated Ana Bogdan for her first WTA 1000-level win,[21] before losing to 19th seed Madison Keys in the second round.[22]
In March 2024, she qualified for the main-draw in Indian Wells, but lost to Hailey Baptiste in the first round.[23] At the Madrid Open, as a main-draw wildcard entrant, she reached the third round, losing to defending champion Aryna Sabalenka.[24]
At the beginning of the 2024 grass-court season, she qualified for the Rosmalen Open and then reached her first tour-level quarterfinal defeating eighth seed Magda Linette[25] and Jule Niemeier,[26] before losing to third seed Ekaterina Alexandrova.[27] Montgomery also qualified for the 2024 Wimbledon Championships,[28] where she defeated Olivia Gadecki to make it into the second round,[29] at which point she lost to 10th seed Ons Jabeur.[30]
At the beginning of the American summer swing, Montgomery reached her first WTA 500 quarterfinal at the Washington Open as a wildcard entrant, after defeating Shelby Rogers[31] and receiving a walkover from fourth seed Ons Jabeur.[32] She lost in the last eight to Marie Bouzková.[33] Montgomery qualified for the main-draw at the Cincinnati Open, but lost to Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the first round.[34]
2025–2026: Top 100, injury, maiden WTA title
[edit]
Montgomery started her 2025 season at the ASB Classic in Auckland, where she recorded wins over lucky loser Mai Hontama,[35] qualifier Nao Hibino[36] and Bernarda Pera to reach her first WTA Tour semifinal, at which point her run was ended by fifth seed and eventual champion Clara Tauson.[37][38]
In March 2025, at the WTA 1000 event Indian Wells where she received a wildcard entry, she defeated Jule Niemeier for her first win at the tournament,[39] before losing to 18th seed Marta Kostyuk in the second round.[40] At the Charleston Open, she overcame Viktoriya Tomova in the first round,[41] but lost her next match to seventh seed Danielle Collins.[42] Despite the defeat, Montgomery reached the top 100 on 7 April 2025.[43]
Montgomery won her maiden WTA Tour title at the 2026 Libéma Open when Barbora Krejčíková withdrew from the final due to illness.[44][45] Ranked No. 484, Montgomery was the lowest-ranked woman to win a tour-level title on grass courts, and the fifth lowest-ranked titlist in WTA history. As a result she climbed 290 positions up in the top 200 in the WTA singles rankings on 15 June 2026.[44]
