KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova for the 15th consecutive time, rallying in both sets for a 6-4, 6-3 victory in the Sony Open semifinals on Thursday. Williams, seeking a record seventh Key Biscayne title, improved to 16-2 against Sharapova and hasnt lost to her favourite foil since 2004. "I have always felt when Im playing at my best, then its hard for people to beat me," Williams said. Rafael Nadal could say the same. He advanced to the semifinals by hitting a flurry of forehand winners down the stretch to beat Milos Raonic 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. On Saturday, the No. 1-ranked Williams will try for a record seventh Key Biscayne title against No. 2 Li Na, who overcame 40 unforced errors to beat Dominika Cibulkova 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. Williams is 10-1 against Li. No. 7-seeded Tomas Berdych advanced to Fridays semifinals, beating Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-4, 7-6 (3). Berdych was the Key Biscayne runner-up in 2010. The No. 1-ranked Nadal, who is 0-3 in Key Biscayne finals, needs one more win to get there again. His opponent Friday night will be No. 7-seeded Tomas Berdych, who advanced by beating No. 22 Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-4, 7-6 (3). Nadal has beaten Berdych 16 times in a row over the past seven years. "This tournament is a tournament where I really feel the love of the people so much," Nadal said, "so Im going to try my best to keep playing well." Three-time champion Novak Djokovic will play in the other semifinal Friday against No. 20-seeded Kei Nishikori, who eliminated Roger Federer on Wednesday. The No. 1-ranked Williams won with a superior serve and better returns. She hit nine aces and broke five times, helping her rebound from deficits of 4-1 in the first set and 2-0 in the second. Williams earned her 14th consecutive victory against a top-10 player. Her opponent in Saturdays final will be either Australian Open champion Li Na or Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia. Williams first won Key Biscayne in 2002 and is the defending champion. She has worn Miami Dolphins orange and turquoise throughout the tournament and considers it her home event because she lives 90 minutes up the road. "When I grew up I always wanted to play here," she said. "I guess I just dont want to let go. Its my favourite stop on the tour. Its home. All my friends come. So its perfect for me." There was no evidence of a home-court advantage at the start, when Williams failed to convert four early break-point chances and fell behind. Sharapova cracked a succession of winners from the baseline and earned applause from Williams after besting her in one exchange. But Williams broke back when Sharapova committed three consecutive backhand errors, and gained momentum from there, sweeping the final five games of the first set. The story was similar in the second set, and after falling behind, Williams resorted to her dominating power. She quickly won one game with two aces and two service winners during a period when she swept 11 consecutive points. Sharapova committed groundstroke errors on the final three points, and a victorious Williams trotted to the net, her left fist leading the way. She has more victories against Sharapova than against any other opponent. "Despite my results against her, I still look forward to playing against her because you learn so much from that type of level which she produces," Sharapova said. "You finish the match, and you know where you need to improve and the things that you need to work on."

Rodgers threw for 368 yards and two touchdowns and kept two NFL-record streaks alive in a 26-21 win on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The Packers (9-3) improved to 6-0 at home this season, tying the NFLs best mark shared by New England and three other teams. Weve been great at home, said Rodgers. The fans have been excellent with the noise and weve got a good advantage with it. Weve just got to keep rolling. The Patriots (9-3) had a seven-game winning streak snapped, losing for the first time in more than two months. The Packers, with Rodgers carving out another precise passing game, took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter and hung on down the stretch after Tom Brady threw his second touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell to get the Patriots within 23-21 early in the fourth quarter. After Mason Crosby kicked his fourth field goal of the game for Green Bay to make it 26-21 with 8:41 remaining, Stephen Gostkowski had a rare miss for New England at the other end of the field. The Packers then picked up a final first down when Rodgers hit Randall Cobb for a 7-yard gain on 3rd-and-4. The Patriots were left without any timeouts and Rodgers kneeled out the remaining two minutes to snap Green Bays two-game losing streak to New England. I just wish we won this one. I think we put a lot into it, said Brady. It was a great test for us and I think the guys knew how important it was for our season. You hate to have the ball at the 20-yard line with under three minutes left and a chance to go ahead and not do it. That sucked. Rodgers was 24-of-38 and has thrown 360 consecutive passes with 31 touchdowns since his last interception at home, extending both NFL records. Eddie Lacy rushed 21 times for 98 yards and caught two passes for another 17, stretching his Packers running back record to four consecutive games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage. Davante Adams had six receptions for 121 yards and Cobb made seven catches for 85 as the Packers ran their winning streak to four games since their bye week. Brady was 22-of-35 for 245 yards and the two touchdown passes to LaFell. Rob Gronkowski had seven catches for 98 yards and Brandon Bolden added a 6-yard touchdown run in the loss, New Englands first since falling 41-14 in Kansas City on Sept. 29. After a scoreless third quarter New England pullled within 23-21 on LaFells 15-yard touchdown catch with 13:51 remaining in the fourth.dddddddddddd On the ensuing possession, Adams dropped a sure touchdown pass on third down from the 10-yard line and Crosby kicked a 28-yard field goal to give the Packers their five-point lead. Gronkowski nearly made a diving catch in the end zone at the other side of the field, but the ball hit the ground and Gostkowski missed a field goal for only the fifth time in the last two seasons, pushing a 47-yard try wide-right for New England. The Packers last two home games were blowout wins -- 55-14 over Chicago and 53-20 over Philadelphia in consecutive weeks -- and this one looked to be headed that way early on. Their first two possessions of the game totaled 20 plays and 124 yards but ended in two Crosby field goals for a 6-0 lead. The third went for 85 yards and seven points on just four plays. Rodgers 32- yard touchdown pass to Richard Rodgers was set up by his 45-yard pass to Adams down the left sideline. Boldens first touchdown of the season, on a slashing 6-yard run early in the second, got the Patriots within seven points before Crosbys third field goal of the game gave the Packers a 16-7 lead. Brady and LaFell hooked up from two yards to cap an 80-yard New England drive, but the Green Bay ended the first half with a 23-14 lead after Jordy Nelsons 45-yard catch-and-run touchdown was upheld upon review with 14 seconds left. Nelson stretched the ball inside the left pylon before going out of bounds after darting across the field to out-run Darrelle Revis and safety Devin McCourty.
