From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 9 November 2023

Today on NZ Sporting history we meet Erin Routliffe who's made recent sporting history by becoming the first New Zealander to win a women's grand slam title in 44 years.

She, together with doubles partner Gaby Dabrowski, won the US open doubles title this year.

They are currently ranked 11th in the world.

Erin speaks to Jesse about calling New Zealand home after residing in Canada for many years and what's next in her stellar sporting career.
