It was early in the second game of Friday's women's doubles semifinal at the Rate Vegas Cup presented by Holland America that Anna Leigh Waters needed a medical timeout for some minor repairs.

Unfortunately, she was the victim of "friendly fire" from her teammate, Anna Bright, whose paddle accidentally connected with Waters' left index finger on a follow through during a return attempt.

Once Waters' digit was patched up, though, it was business as usual as she and Bright cruised to an 11-1, 11-2 quarterfinal victory over No. 11 Brooke Buckner and Zoey Wang.

The top-seeded tandem will face No. 4 Catherine Parenteau and Jade Kawamoto in the semis on Saturday.

"I'm OK. I said, 'That's what happens when you put two Alphas on the court.' You're going to get some paddle clanks," explained Waters. "It's better that we were both there. I got Anna in practice the other day, maybe not quite this bad, but these are battle scars."

The other semifinal will feature No. 2 Jorja Johnson and Rachel Rohrabacher against No. 3 Tyra Hurricane Black and Parris Todd.
