Massaro eased through in straight games.
Massaro overcame Hong Kong’s number one Annie Au in straight games as she looks to retain the title she won last year.
In March the Lancastrian became the first ever British woman to hold both the World and British Open titles at the same time.
Speaking afterwards the 30-year-old said: “To say I’m chuffed to get through is an understatement. Although I can get quite fiery, I was even more fired up tonight. I really wanted to win and I had to be at the top of my game as Annie is such a talented player.
“It’s really great to play in front of a home crowd as they really get behind you. Of course I’d like to win another one but I’m taking each round as it comes,” added Massaro.
