The Danish third seed defeated Slovakia’s Dominika Cibulkova 6-2, 6-1 in the quarter-finals.
But Wozniacki felt a twinge in her right knee during the first game of the second set and called for a trainer. She continued with her knee wrapped and won with ease, but planned to have the knee examined.
“You need to judge whether you can continue,” said Wozniacki. “That’s all the decisions you need to make yourself because you don’t want to risk getting a long-term injury.”
