Melbourne: It is hoped that China’s Li Na would keep winning spree during her third Australian Open final. Last day she had a thumping victory over teenager Eugenie Bouchard in the semi-finals.

The Chinese smashed the Canadian teenager sensation for 6-2 6-4 in a sun-drenched Rod Laver Arena.

She will be playing against Slovakia’s 20^th seed Dominica Cibulkova for the trophy.
