Erin Hope Routliffe (born 11 April 1995) is a New Zealand professional tennis player who previously represented Canada.[1] She became world No. 1 in doubles on 15 July 2024.[2] Routliffe won a major doubles title at the 2023 US Open partnering Gabriela Dabrowski. She became the second New Zealand woman to win a major in the Open Era, after Judy Connor won the women's doubles title at the 1979 Australian Open.[3] Routliffe was a two-time NCAA doubles champion with Maya Jansen for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.[4]

She had a career-high junior rank of No. 17 achieved on 21 January 2013. She studied at the University of Alabama, and she was part of its tennis team from September 2013 until her graduation in May 2017, majoring in public relations.

Her win in the 2018 Hardee's Pro Classic in Dothan, Alabama allowed her to break into the top 200 in the doubles rankings for the first time, while her win two weeks later in Charleston, South Carolina pushed her into the top 150. Her runner-up finish in Washington in 2018, took her into the top 100. Her first WTA doubles title came three years later at the 32nd Palermo Ladies Open in July 2021.

Early life

[edit]

Routliffe was born in New Zealand while her parents, Robert Routliffe and Catherine MacLennan, were on an around-the-world sailing adventure. They stayed there four years before returning to Canada.[5] She has two sisters, Tara and Tess, the latter being an international para-swimmer. Both were also born in Auckland. She made the move to Montreal in September 2011 to train at the National Training Centre and stayed there until 2013.

Career

[edit]

2010–2011

[edit]

In October 2010, Routliffe won the doubles title at the G4 in Burlington, Ontario.[6] She won her first junior singles title at the same tournament a year later.[7] In October 2011, she reached the quarterfinals in both singles and doubles at the $50k Saguenay Challenger, with a win over Alizé Lim in the second round.[8] She reached her second straight $50k doubles quarterfinal in Toronto the next week.[9]

2012

[edit]

In April, Routliffe won the singles and doubles titles at the G2 in Cap-d'Ail.[10] Later that month she made the doubles final of the G1 in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.[11] She lost in the first round in singles at the junior French Open and Wimbledon, but reached the quarterfinals in doubles at Wimbledon. In August, she was awarded a wildcard in the qualifying draw at the Rogers Cup and made it to the second round.[12] She made the doubles final of the G1 in Repentigny, Quebec in September.[13] She was defeated in the first round in singles of the junior US Open, but reached the quarterfinals in doubles. She won the doubles title at the GB1 in Tulsa, Oklahoma with Carol Zhao, defeating Charlotte Petrick and Denise Starr in the final.[14] Routliffe also reached two doubles quarterfinals in October: at the $50k Challengers in Saguenay and Toronto.[15]

2013

[edit]

Routliffe lost in the first round in singles of the junior Australian Open, but made the quarterfinals in doubles for her third straight Grand Slam. In February, she reached her first professional doubles final at the $25k tournament in Launceston, Tasmania.[16] She was defeated in the first round in singles and the second round in doubles at the junior French Open. At the beginning of July, Routliffe made it to the semifinals in doubles at the $50k Cooper Challenger.[17] In August, she won the gold medal in singles at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke.[18]

2014

[edit]

In July, Routliffe and partner Carol Zhao made it to the semifinals at the $25k Challenger de Gatineau.[19] At the $25k in Granby a week later, she and Zhao reached the third doubles final of her career. They were supposed to face Hiroko Kuwata and Riko Sawayanagi for the title, but had to withdraw because of an injury.[20]

2015

[edit]

In July, Routliffe reached the doubles final in Granby (now a $50k event) for the second straight year, this time with Laura Robson, but they were defeated in straight sets by Australians Jessica Moore and Storm Sanders.[21] The following month, Routliffe and partner Maya Jansen won the US Open National Playoffs in doubles, and were awarded a wildcard for the main draw.[22] They were defeated in the first round by Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears.[23]

2016

[edit]

Routliffe advanced to her first professional singles final in July 2016, at the $25k in Winnipeg, where she was defeated by fellow qualifier Francesca Di Lorenzo in straight sets.[24] In early October, she won her first professional doubles title, partnering Andie Daniell, at Charleston, South Carolina.[25]

2017

[edit]

In June, the ITF agreed to allow Routliffe to change her representational nationality to the country of her birth. Routliffe played her first Fed Cup ties for New Zealand against Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in July, dropping only one game in her winning debut over Guljan Muhammetkuliyeva.[1] In October, this time with Di Lorenzo as her partner, she made it to the doubles final at the $60k Saguenay Challenger, Canada, but they had to withdraw following an injury to Di Lorenzo.[26] The next week at a $60k in Toronto, she won her second doubles title, defeating Ysaline Bonaventure and Victoria Rodríguez, partnering Alexa Guarachi.[27] In December, she reached the doubles final with Maya Jansen at the $15k in Solapur, India.[28]

2018

[edit]

In January, with compatriot Jade Lewis, Routliffe won her third and fourth doubles titles, in consecutive weeks at ITF tournaments in Sharm El Sheikh.[29][30] A week later, she collected her third successive title at the same venue, this time in singles over Nadja Gilchrist.[31]

Routliffe then joined the New Zealand team in Bahrain for their Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Group II playoffs. Rested for the first day's tie against Lebanon, Routliffe had her first match the following day when New Zealand met top seeds Uzbekistan. Playing for the second time against its top player Sabina Sharipova (she had played her in the 2017 Fed Cup tie as well), Routliffe lost 7–5, 6–1. Losing all three rubbers, New Zealand nevertheless finished second in the group, and moved through to the 5th-8th place play-offs against Pakistan the following day, where Routliffe beat Ushna Sohail, 6–3, 6–1.

In Irapuato, Mexico, Routliffe won her third ITF doubles title for the year when she teamed with Alexa Guarachi again.[32] They followed that with a loss in the semifinals at Jackson, Mississippi but won another title together a week later in Pelham, Alabama,[33] and won their third title in four weeksin Dothan. The latter event, being an $80k tournament, was the biggest win for both players.[34] They lost in the quarterfinals of the next tournament at the $80k-level in Charlottesville, Virginia but then won again in the last of the three events, at Charleston, South Carolina, where they beat Louisa Chirico and Allie Kiick.[35]

Routliffe then went to South Korea to start a series of tournaments in Asia. With a new partner in Victoria Rodríguez, she lost in the semifinals of the first event in Incheon. Moving on to Thailand, the pair took out the title at the first tournament they played in Hua Hin,[36] and completed the tournament double by winning again a week later.[37] It was Routliffe's eighth doubles title for the year.

Routliffe and Guarachi qualified for Wimbledon. They lost to the eventual champions Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková in the first round of the main draw.

From there Routliffe returned to Canada, and she teamed again with Victoria Rodríguez for an ITF tournament in Gatineau, Quebec; they were beaten in their quarterfinal. Teaming again with Guarachi at the Washington Open, her very first WTA Tour event, they made the final, where they lost in straight sets to third seeds Han Xinyun and Darija Jurak. Returning to Canada with Guarachi, they were beaten by Carson Branstine and Rebecca Marino in the first round of an ITF tournament in Vancouver.

Routliffe headed to Cairns for the first of a series of ITF tournaments in Australia. Beaten in singles qualifying, she and first-time partner Astra Sharma were second seeds in the doubles. They lost to the top seeds Naiktha Bains and Xu Shilin in the final. In Darwin, she and Ellen Perez lost in the quarterfinals. She and Freya Christie reached the semifinals in Brisbane, and she won her ninth doubles title of the year in Toowoomba,[38] but lost with different partners in the first round in both Bendigo and Canberra.

Returning to the U.S. for her final WTA tournament of the season, Routliffe teamed again with Alexa Guarachi for a WTA 125 event in Houston, Texas; they were beaten in the first round by Maegan Manasse and Jessica Pegula. A month later, Routliffe was in Auckland where she lost in the semifinals of the New Zealand Championships to Valentina Ivanov,[39] but won the doubles as top seed with Paige Hourigan.[40]

2019

[edit]

Given a wildcard into singles qualifying in Auckland, Routliffe was beaten in straight sets by Alexandra Panova. She and Guarachi lost to against Tímea Babos and Julia Görges in the doubles. They both went on to Hobart but took different partners, with Routliffe and Vera Lapko losing in the first round. Routliffe's next event was the Newport Beach Challenger in California, where she and Kristie Ahn lost in the first round to Manasse and Pegula.

She then had a series of tournaments where she lost in either the first or second round, until she came to defend her title in Irapuato. She and Anna Danilina lost in the semifinals, 7–6, 6–4 to the eventual champions Paige Hourigan and Australian Astra Sharma. She lost in the quarterfinals of her next two tournaments in Mexico, and then in the first round of the WTA tournament in Bogotá.

From there it was to the U.S. clay-court swing where, with Alexa Guarachi, they attempted to defend their title in Dothan, but were upset in the first round by Beatrice Gumulya and Abbie Myers. Routliffe teamed with Di Lorenzo to reach the quarterfinals in Charlottesville, and then with Allie Kiick to reach the semifinals at the next event in Charleston. At Bonita Springs, Guarachi and Routliffe won the tournament.

A semifinal loss in Spain was followed by a first-round exit at Surbiton and then a defeat in the quarterfinals at Nottingham to Monica Niculescu and Elena-Gabriela Ruse.

Routliffe then teamed with Madison Brengle for Wimbledon, losing in the first round to Han Xinyun and Oksana Kalashnikova. First or second round losses followed in Routliffe's next four tournaments. She teamed with Naomi Broady at the Vancouver Open to reach the final, losing to Nao Hibino and Miyu Kato.

2020

[edit]

Routliffe was given wildcards for both the qualifying singles and doubles at the Auckland Open. She lost her first singles match to Sara Errani, and she and Allie Kiick lost to Caroline Garcia and Julia Görges in the first round of doubles.

Her next stop was an ITF tournament in Burnie. She had to retire from her second round singles in qualifying against Irina Ramialison. She entered the main draw as a lucky loser, and she was drawn to face Ramialison again. This time, she won in straight sets, but she lost her second round match to Maddison Inglis. She partnered Fanny Stollár in the doubles, and they lost their quarterfinal against Paige Hourigan and Destanee Aiava.

The ITF Circuit resumed in New Zealand after a break of seven years, the first women's event being in Hamilton. Routliffe and Emily Fanning won the doubles title.

Two tournaments in Perth followed, with Routliffe losing in the first round of singles in the first week, and in the final qualifying round in the second. She and Jaimee Fourlis were finalists in the first doubles event, but Routliffe had to default in the quarter-finals in the second week when her partner Arina Rodionova was injured playing singles. The latter had recovered by the time they moved to Mildura for the following week, and they made the final, losing to Tereza Mihalíková and Abbie Myers.

Playing doubles only, Routliffe resumed in the first tournament after the break because of COVID, the Lexington Challenger (with Robin Anderson), but lost in the first round, as she did in Prague (with Ingrid Neel), the tournament replacing the qualifying events for the US Open. She and Naomi Broady got to the quarterfinals of the İstanbul Cup, but she and Neel had another first-round defeat when they played in Cagnes-sur-Mer.

In Porto, she and Jana Fett were runners-up in a $25k tournament, and she equalled that result when she and Jamie Loeb were runners-up in Orlando, losing to Rasheeda McAdoo and Alycia Parks.

In the final they took on former champions Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva. They defeated them in straight sets to claim the US Open title, a first Grand Slam title for both players. With the win, Routliffe entered the top 20 for the first time in her career.[47]

At the Guadalajara Open the pair Routliffe/Dabrowski reached their first WTA 1000 final, where they lost to Storm Hunter and Elise Mertens.
