This encounter was back and forth throughout. Down 4-2 in the first set, Ivanovic won four straight games to capture the first set. But Suárez Navarro quickly got out to a 3-0, two-break lead during a comfortable second set win.
And then down 4-3 but on serve in the third set, Ivanovic won three straight games, fending off a break point in the last one for a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory.
Little separated the two competitors, with Ivanovic winning 104 points to Suárez Navarro's 102. Ivanovic posted an impressive 48-34 winners-to-unforced errors ratio. The Serb tied Suárez Navarro for second-most wins on the WTA this season with her 30th.
If she can win the title here, she will return to the Top 10 for the first time since 2009.
