CHINESE players Zheng Jie and Li Na are on track to meet in the Monterrey Open final after each won in straight sets on Friday.
Fourth-seeded Zheng, yet to drop a set in Monterrey, Mexico, knocked out seventh-seeded Gisela Dulko of Argentina 6-3, 6-2 in the quarterfinals only two months after losing to Dulko in straight sets in Hobart, Australia.
To reach her first final in three years, Zheng will have to go through sixth-seeded Iveta Benesova, who beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 7-5, 6-4 and moved ahead 3-2 in matchups with her younger Czech compatriot.
Unseeded Li, who ousted top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland to start the new claycourt tournament, beat Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-6 (3).
She'll meet second-seeded Marion Bartoli of France, who fought back to beat American qualifier Vania King 2-6, 6-2, 6-3.
