Clijsters keen to avoid flashback to Sydney loss

MELBOURNE - Belgium's Kim Clijsters on Thursday said she would avoid watching video of this month's Sydney International final defeat to Li Na after setting up an Australian Open decider with the tenacious Chinese.

Clijsters, seeded third, won through to her second Melbourne final 6-3, 6-3 against Russian Vera Zvonareva, in what she said was her best performance of the tournament.

But the 27-year-old favorite was under no illusion about the danger she will face on Saturday against the ninth-seeded Li, who saved a match point in battling past world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki in three sets.
