DeSilva and Downey came out tops in a three-team round robin when they defeated Anna Lee Bryant of Barbados and Hannah Pritchard of Great Britain 6-4, 6-4, and then Whitney Renfern and Michelle Watson of Surinam 6-3, 6-4.

Wardman and Whitter defeated Faron Carter of Barbados and Brian Simon of Antigua 7-5, 6-2 and now meet the second seeds Kareem Bedminster of Antigua and Rayn Russell of Jamaica in today's semi finals.
