Fourth seed Wozniacki, who had her thigh heavily strapped when 3-1 down in the second set, battled to keep in touch with Li, but the Chinese finally held serve at 5-3, sealing it on the second match point after the Dane slapped a forehand long.
Li will meet American Venus Williams for a place in the semi-finals.
