Born and raised on clay, Suárez Navarro has been one of the most consistent performers on the surface in recent years but was no match for an on-song Wozniacki.
The Spaniard saw her serve broken five times, as Wozniacki wrapped up a 6-0, 6-3 victory to set up a meeting with No.2 seed Simona Halep.
The tone was set early on, Wozniacki's metronome-like consistency drawing the errors from Suárez Navarro. After whipping through the opening set, the Dane's march met a little more resistance in the second, Suárez Navarro threatening a comeback when she broke in a marathon fifth game. Wozniacki, though, was not to be denied, taking three of the last four games to reach her first clay court semifinal since Brussels in 2011. "I was saying that I remember that statistic," Wozniacki said of her four-year wait. "I played well today. Ran a lot of balls down, played aggressively and went from offence to defense and back which is good. I was very pleased with my performance."
