Kiwi tennis player Erin Routliffe and Canadian partner Gaby Dabrowski have continued their winning ways in their second doubles match at the WTA Finals in Mexico.

The pair beat Laura Siegemund of Germany and Vera Zvonareva of Russia 6-4, 6-2 this morning in 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, having opened with a win over top seeds Coco Gauff and Jess Pegula.

They'll now play the Czech pairing of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in their last group match before heading to the knockout stages.

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.
