No 10 seed Wozniacki, who reached the final in 2009, needed only 65 minutes to beat Errani 6-0 6-1.

Errani, the 13th seed, was unable to hold her serve throughout the match as Wozniacki dominated from the baseline.

Wozniacki will now face Peng Shuai, a player who she has beaten five times in six meetings, for a place in the final.

"It was really tricky conditions with the wind but I tried to stay aggressive," Wozniacki said.

"You always go out there and are a little bit nervous. I served really well after that."

Wozniacki has endured a mixed year in which she has struggled for consistency - however in New York she has shown the sort of form that took her to the top of the world rankings.

"It's been a pretty up and down year for me, and to be here in the semi-finals of the US Open again is just incredible."
