MELBOURNE, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Two-time runner-up Li Na of China expressed her eagerness to win her first Australian Open title after losing twice here at the pre-final press conference on Friday.
Fourth seed Li will meet 20th seed Dominika Cibulkova in Saturday's women's singles final. Cibulkova reached her maiden Grand Slam final as the first Slovakian woman.
"(I want to win this title) a lot because I was doing well here," said the Chinese star. "I really wish I can win the title in Australian Open, like I'm always looking forward to playing back here."
It will be Li's third final in four years as she lost to Kim Clijsters and Victoria Azarenka in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
"If you got more chance come to the final, you got more experience," said Li.
"I think I'm ready. Same like her. I think both should be ready. After six matches, everyone has more confident to prepare for final," added Li.
"At least it is a 50/50 match for me and Dominika. Everyone has chance to win the title," said Li. "Just come to the court, just play, don't think too much."
