Erin Routliffe and Asia Muhammad have come through another tight match in Washington, but have defeated Chinese duo of Xu Yifan and Yang Zhaoxuan 6-2 5-7 10-7.<\/p>\n
This quarterfinal match in the United States\u2019 capital was similar to their clash in the first round, when they defeated Ulrikke Eikeri from Norway and Japan\u2019s Sri Hozumi 6-1 4-6 12-10, but once again, they battled through for the victory.<\/p>\n
Routliffe and Muhammad last played together in Cincinnati last August and took out the title, which was Routliffe\u2019s first triumph at a WTA 1000 tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Routliffe\u2019s regular partner Gaby Dabrowski not playing this week, the Kiwi has reunited with Muhammad and they are continuing that success from 11 months ago.<\/p>\n
In the semifinals, Routliffe and Muhammad, who are the top seeds, play the winner of the match between Chan Hao-Ching and Jiang Xinyu against Caroline Dolehide and Sofia Kenin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Erin Routliffe and Asia Muhammad have come through another tight match in Washington, but have defeated Chinese duo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":["post-19329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
