Navarro's into her first major semifinal after defeating Paula Badosa in straight sets at the US Open in the quarterfinals Tuesday.
Badosa fell apart in the second set, blowing a 5-1 lead before bowing out.
"Crazy to be moving on," Navarro said. "US Open, baby!"
Navarro said she felt good even when she was down 5-2 in the second set, adding that she could still see a straight-sets win.
The 23-year-old will play Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals after the No. 2 seed defeated reigning Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen.
