The 14-year-old is the lone British player remaining in the draw following defeats for Elena Baltacha and Katie O’Brien.
“I am very pleased with the way I played,” said Robson following her victory.
“Martijn (Bok, her coach) and I talked through the game plan before I went on and it obviously worked.”
Robson’s semi-final opponent is Maret Ani who beat Belgian Kirsten Flipkens 7-6 (3) 6-3 in their quarter’final match which opened yesterday’s play on Court One.
Estonian Ani is 26-years-old and is ranked No 161 in the world.
