Rafael Nadal reached the Miami Open final with a dominant straight-set victory over Italy’s Fabio Fognini.
Spain’s 14-time Grand Slam champion won 6-1 7-5 to set up a tie with Roger Federer or Nick Kyrgios, who play their semi-final on Saturday at 00:00 BST.
Fognini, 29, had become the first unseeded player in 10 years to make the last four by beating Kei Nishikori.
But the world number 40 struggled after a poor start against Nadal, who did not face a single break point.
Federer – who beat Nadal, 30, in the Australian Open final – booked his semi-final place with a victory over Czech 10th seed Tomas Berdych. The Swiss 35-year-old has 17 wins from 18 matches this year.
Australia’s Kyrgios defeated Alexander Zverev in the quarter-finals, the 19-year-old German having beaten Stan Wawrinka in the previous round.
On Saturday, British number one Johanna Konta plays Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki in the women’s final at 18:00 BST – with live text commentary on the BBC Sport website.
Konta, 25, became the first British woman to reach the Miami Open final with a 6-4 7-5 victory over Venus Williams in the last four on Thursday. (BBC)
