Seventh-seeded Samantha Stosur advanced to the semifinals of the Porsche Grand Prix on Friday, beating Li Na of China 6-3, 6-3 to extend her clay-court winning streak to 10 matches.

The Australian committed only seven unforced errors and never faced a break point.

“I didnt realize I had so few errors so thats a good result,” Stosur said. “To get 10 in a row is really good.

“I am feeling very comfortable on clay and everything is falling into place. I am really enjoying it.”

Stosur has won 14 of her last 15 matches on clay, going back to the semifinals of last years French Open. She is projected to move up one place to a career-high No. 9 when the new rankings come out next week.

She is seeking her second title of the year after winning in Charleston, and will play either Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic or Anna Lapushchenkova of Russia in the semifinals.
