Li Na overcomes Cibulkova. |
China's Li Na regrouped to beat Dominika Cibulkova in a Thursday night thriller to set up a dream Sony Open Tennis final against Serena Williams.
After top seed Williams took care of business earlier in the day against Maria Sharapova, No. 2 Li showed championship poise in rallying from 3-1 down in the final set to beat No. 10 seed Cibulkova 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 and advance to her first singles final in the tournament.
Williams leads Li in their head-to-head series, 10-1, and has won their last nine meetings.
