Li dumped by Czech qualifier

FRENCH Open champion Li Na was upset 6-2 5-7 7-6 by Czech qualifier Petra Cetkovska in the semi-finals of the New Haven Open yesterday.

Cetkovska, ranked a career-high 40th in the world, will face world number one Caroline Wozniacki in today's final, the Dane having beaten Italy's Francesca Schiavone 7-6 6-3 in the last four.

Cetkovska clinched the decisive tiebreak 11-9 at the end of a battle with Li lasting two hours and 41 minutes.

The 26-year-old Czech has yet to win a WTA event but is on an upward curve, reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon this year after winning three ITF titles last season.
