Li Na overcame 40 unforced errors to beat Dominika Cibulkova 7-5 2-6 6-3 and set up a Sony Open final against world No1 Serena Williams.

Second seed Li, who won the Australian Open earlier this year, has a WTA-leading 21 match wins so far this year heading into the showdown against Williams.

Williams booked her place in the final thanks to a 6-4 6-3 victory over Maria Sharapova earlier on Thursday.

“I have always felt when I’m playing at my best, then it’s hard for people to beat me,” said Williams, who is seeking a record seventh Key Biscayne title.
