Watson blew past Amanda Haywood 21-4, 21-10 to set up next week’s semi-final battle against Mikeila Carrington. Carrington, who has never beaten Watson, had dismissed Cherene Ward, 21-12, 21-8.
Tamisha Williams scored the first upset by taking out No.2 seed Sabrina Scott in the only three-setter so far, 14-21, 21-18, 21-14. Williams will meet Mariama Eastmond, who stopped Monyata Riviera, 21-12, 21-13.
