Top seed Caroline Wozniacki advanced to the Pan Pacific Open semi-finals after Agnieszka Radwanska retired with a foot injury in the first set.
At 5-0 down, sixth-seeded Pole Radwanska consulted with a trainer before deciding she could not continue.
Aiming for her sixth title in 2010, Dane Wozniacki will meet eighth-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus on Friday.
Wozniacki could become world number one if she lifts the trophy and reaches the last four in next week's China Open.
If, however, the 20-year-old world number two does not overtake Serena Williams on this occasion, she believes other opportunities to be officially recognised as the world's best will arise.
"If I reach number one that is great," Wozniacki said.
"It's always been a goal of mine - but if it doesn't happen this year there will be other chances."
