Home favourite Navarro will go up against a player in form in the last four, after last year's runner-up Sabalenka put on a show of force against Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng in the quarters.
Sabalenka claimed a statement 6-1 6-2 victory on Tuesday, in what was a rematch of this year's Australian Open final, which the Belarusian also won.

"She [Navarro] is a really good player. We had two battles, they were really close."
Sabalenka had more than just nerves to deal with against Zheng, given the great Roger Federer was watching on from the stands,
"I saw him there, saw him on the big screen," Sabalenka said regarding Federer, a five-time US Open champion.
"I was like, OK, I have to play my best tennis so he enjoys it. I have to show my skills, you know, slice skills, come to the net and all that stuff."
