Oda Tokito is amazing! He is only 19 years old, but he already has a career Golden Slam. You need to win the four big tournaments, called Grand Slams, and an Olympic or a Paralympic gold medal. He had already won Wimbledon, the French Open, and the Australian Open, and he had a gold medal from the Paris Paralympics last year. On Saturday, he did it! He won the men’s wheelchair singles at the U.S. Open. He wasn’t the only Japanese hero though. Kamiji Yui won the women’s wheelchair singles. She has also had a great season, winning all of the Grand Slams except for Wimbledon. We can look forward to her getting a career Golden Slam, too. (118 words)
