Maria qualified to Beijing final for the first time in her career after she defeated Na Li of China in straight sets: 6-4, 6-0 after one hour and 41 minutes of play.
Like a paradox, even if Maria won the first set (6-4) the statistics were not so good for her. In the first set she had only 7 winners, 19 unforced errors and 3 aces. This first part was very disputed, first set lasted one hour and 9 minutes.
At 1-0 in second set, Maria made the break and leaded 3-0 after she won her serve. At 3-0, Maria made once again the break and it was 5-0 after Li was close to recover one of the breaks.
In the end, Maria won the second set (6-0) and the match with a break and during all match she had 22 unfoced errors, 8 winners, 5 double-faults, 3 aces and 59% percentage on the first serve.
In Beijing final Maria will play either Victoria Azarenka of Belarus or Marion Bartoli of France.
UPDATE: Maria Sharapova vs Victoria Azarenka
