'My confidence is very high at the moment,' Watson said.
'At the beginning of the year, you want a lot of matches and that's definitely what I've gotten the last two weeks.
'Every match I play, I feel like I'm getting better and better, tennis-wise and mentally.'
Watson will play No. 2 seed Elise Mertens in the semi-finals.
