Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki (33) had to retire from her quarter-final match at the Bad Homburg Open on Thursday due to a knee injury while Paula Badosa (26) was knocked out.

Danish wildcard Wozniacki was facing third-seeded American Emma Navarro and had taken the opening set in which she fell and seemed to hurt her knee.

The former Australian Open champion was losing 4-6, 6-1, 1-0 when she retired, with one eye on Wimbledon, which starts on Monday, where she also has a wildcard.

Spain's former world number two Badosa, also a wildcard, struggled with double faults and Russian Diana Shnaider's superior second serve in the second set as she lost 6-3, 7-6(3).

Shnaider will face Navarro in the semi-finals.

Croatia's Donna Vekic is also in the last four after receiving a walkover when Czech defending champion Katerina Siniakova pulled out due to a hip injury.

Vekic will face Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova after she defeated Russia's Anna Blinkova in the last quarter-final.
