Sharapova sets up Li semi-final

Maria Sharapova will face Li Na in the semi-finals of the French Open after the Australian Open finalist put out title favourite Victoria Azarenka this afternoon.

Li, who lost to Kim Clijsters in the final in Melbourne, was just too consistent for the fourth seed today, winning 7-5 6-2 to reach the last four at Roland Garros for the first time.
