Team USA's Tennelle Milligan was the sole player in the first round of the Masters finals at the Women's World Championships in Mexico, who swept her opponent to advance to the quarterfinals at Bol Obispado in Monterrey.

The All Events silver medalist seeded second, defeated Trios champion Malin Glendert, Sweden, three-game-to-none in the single-elimination best-of-five match play format.

Two more matches were decided after four games. 2003 Masters champion Diandra Asbaty, United States, came back from a 125-201 in game one to eliminate 1999 Masters champion Ann-Maree Putney, Australia, 3-1. Lynda Barnes, the third of four Americans in the finals, fell victim to Kim Yeau Jin, Korea, 3-1.

The other five matches went the distance. No. 16 seed Diana Alfredsson, Sweden led 2-1 against All Events champion and No. 1 seed Choi Jin A, but the Korean survived the challenge as she rolled to big games, 244 and 253, to take the match away, 3-2.
