KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) Rafael Nadal has advanced to the final at the Sony Ericsson Open by beating rival Roger Federer 6-3, 6-2.

The No. 1-ranked Nadal won with surprising ease, holding every service game and converting five of six break-point chances. Nadal, seeking his first Key Biscayne title, has held in 47 of his 48 service games in the tournament.

Federer shanked several shots and committed 31 unforced errors to 10 for Nadal.

Nadal's opponent Sunday will be No. 2 Novak Djokovic, who stretched his winning streak to 25 consecutive matches by beating Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-1.

Nadal improved to 15-8 against Federer. Their showdown was the first in the United States since the 2005 Key Biscayne final, won by Federer.
