CHINA'S Li Na has beaten Venus Williams 2-6, 7-6 (4), 7-5 in a marathon, mistake-ridden quarterfinal at the Australian Open featuring 110 unforced errors.
Williams served for the match in the second set against Li but was broken, forcing the set to the tiebreaker which Li dominated. Williams held service in the first game of the third set and Li in the eighth, but in between there were six consecutive breaks of serve - and eight in the first 10.
Li broke Williams' serve again in the 11th game of the decider, then held to win on her third match point in 2 hours, 47 minutes.
Li and Zheng Jie have become the first Chinese players to advance to the semifinals of the same Grand Slam tournament. Zheng plays Justine Henin tomorrow.
