The New Zealand tennis player Erin Routliffe and her partner Gabi Dabrowski have won their second doubles match at the WTA Finals in Mexico.
The New Zealand-Canadian pair have beaten Laura Siegemund of Germany and Vera Zvonareva of Russia 6-4, 6-2.
It was a repeat of the US Open final in September which Routliffe and Dabrowski won.
Their second win in group play secures them a place in the semi-finals.
They'll play the Czech pairing of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in their last group match.
Each combination at the season-ending tournament gets a participation fee of $150,000 and $60,000 for each group win.
Reaching the semi-finals earns a pair an extra $15,000.
Winning a semi-final adds another $250,000 and $520,000 for winning the final.
