Mohammed, who is aiming to make it a hat-trick of titles in the women’s singles category, advanced to the semifinals with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Victoria Koylass.

On Tuesday, top seed Emma Davis was eliminated from the women’s singles with a first round defeat to Solange Skeene.

Skeene continued her impressive run in the tournament with a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Chelsea Mukerji. Also advancing to the women’s singles semifinals were Yin Lee Assang and Anya King.

Assang got past Lily Lanser 6-3, 6-2, while King was a 6-3, 6-4 winner over Abigail Jones. In today’s semifinal, Mohammed will meet Assang while Skeene is paired against King.

In the women’s doubles semifinals, Mohammed teamed up with Keneel Teasdale to defeat Maria Honore and Mukerji 6-1, 6-2. Mohammed and Teasdale’s strategy of moving aggressively to the net worked in their favour, as oppose to Honore and Mukerji who chose to stay at the baseline. In round one of the veterans singles, Frank Ramudit outlasted Ken Aberdeen 6-2, 6-3 and Brian Jackson got past Michael Cooper 6-0, 6-3.

In round one of the mixed doubles, Javier Lewis and Makalah Goodridge defeated Brandon Gregoire and Vivian Sabga 6-1, 7-5.

The tournament continues today from 4 pm
