Montgomery reached the quarterfinals of the 2020 Australian Open Girls' Singles tournament in January, and in March she won her first ITF tournament, a $25,000 event in Las Vegas.[7] As of August 2020 she was at No. 5 in the junior world rankings.[4]

Following the break in the season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery took part in the Western & Southern Open as a wildcard entrant, losing in the first round to tenth seed Sorana Cirstea.[8] The following week, she received a wildcard into the 2020 US Open—her first senior Grand Slam appearance.[4] She lost in the first round to Yulia Putintseva.[9]
