after former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark retired
with a left knee injury.
Navarro was up 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 when Wozniacki could not continue.

shot. Navarro will meet Russia's Diana Shnaider, a 6-3, 7-6 (3)
winner over Spain's Paula Badosa.

walkover when defending champion Katerina Sinakova of the Czech

Tomova, who saved five match points against Anna Blinkova of
Russia during a third-set tiebreaker before prevailing in
dramatic fashion 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (9).
