    New Zealand's newest grand slam tennis champion is relieved her time out of the sport was short lived

    New Zealand's newest grand slam tennis champion is relieved her time out of the sport was short lived


    Erin Routliffe became the first Kiwi female in 44 years to win a Grand Slam in nailing the women's doubles at the US Open on Monday.

    Montreal-based Routliffe took five months out of the sport in 2019 and considered giving up, as she was struggling to make a living.



    Routliffe - as per tradition - will be back for Auckland's ASB Classic in January.
