This story has been updated following Friday’s doubles play.

HOLLY HILL — The PPA Tour’s Daytona Beach Open rolls into Saturday’s semifinals at Pictona with four remaining competitors in all five divisions.

Among them is the women’s top-seeded doubles team of Jorja Johnson and World No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters, who didn’t give up more than six points in a game during three Friday wins to reach the semis. The Waters-Johnson pairing is a one-off, since Waters’ usual doubles partner Anna Bright isn’t in the field this week. A win in Saturday semis would see them face either the No. 2 or 3 seed in Sunday’s finals.

Here are the semifinal fields in a divisions heading into the weekend:

Women’s Singles

One of the semifinal matches features a pair of deep seeds: Katerina Stewart (40th seed) versus Isabella Dunlap (18).

The other semi is no surprise at all, featuring second-seeded Lea Jansen against three-seed Catherine Parenteau. They are ranked sixth and seventh in the PPA Tour’s season-long point standings in doubles.

Men’s Singles

The men’s semifinals feature three players seeded in the top 10:

Zane Ford (9) versus Christopher Haworth (4), and Gabriel Joseph (5) versus Rafael Lenhard (28). Lenhard is coming off a three-game quarterfinal upset of the PPA Tour’s top-ranked singles players, Federico Staksrud, winning the deciding third game 12-10.

Mixed Doubles

With the superstar team of Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns not competing, all eyes turn toward the tour’s second best mixed team, the brother-sister duo of JW and Jorja Johnson. That top-seeded twosome gets no Saturday cakewalk in the semis, facing third-seeded Gabriel Tardio and Jessie Irvine.

In the other semi, Andre Daescu and Kaitlyn Christian (6 seed) face Jay Devilliers and Callie Smith (11).
