The 20-year-old Danish superstar posted a clinical 6-2, 6-0 victory over the 15th-ranked Italian to set up a semi-final clash with Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli, who earlier in the day beat China's Peng Shuai 6-2, 6-2.
"I had to go for my shots in the game. That was the key," added Wozniacki, who promptly put on a Liverpool jersey after the match to show her support for the club. "I'm a big Liverpool fan. I got this shirt today from the Qatar Tennis Federation.
"Liverpool are playing today (in the Europa League) so I thought I should wear it and show my support," said Wozniacki, who made just seven unforced errors.
