Daniela Hantuchova has booked her place in the final of the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells after beating China's Na Li in three sets.
Hantuchova won the first set 7-5 before Li fought back to win the second 4-6. The 14th seed then cruised to victory when taking the decider 6-1 to set up a final showdown against Svetlana Kuznetsova.
"I definitely felt like I had the edge in the third set," Hantuchova revealed. "I felt very, very good.
"I changed my dress, tried to drink a lot and had a banana and just tried to stay calm and stay cool.
"It's just a fantastic feeling to be back on the court in the finals once again. I'm going to enjoy it and have a great time."
Hantuchova is trading at 3.05 to go on and win the final with Kuznetsova 1.47 favourite.
