Māori tennis star Ruia Morrison meets Serena Williams | Scratched: Aotearoa's Lost Sporting Legends

Спорт

Part II of Ruia Morrison's journey to recognition in Aotearoa. In 1957, the tennis legend was the first New Zealand woman and first Māori to compete at Wimbledon, advancing to the quarter finals. Six decades later, Morrison was honoured with a korowai (cloak) in her name at the Auckland 2020 ASB Classic, and Serena Williams wore it as tournament champion.
