KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) Kei Nishikori committed only eight unforced errors in 119 points and advanced to the Miami Open final by beating Nick Kyrgios 6-3, 7-5 Friday night.

Nishikori's opponent Sunday will be five-time champion Novak Djokovic, who defeated David Goffin 7-6 (5), 6-4.

Seeded No. 6, Nishikori is bidding for his first ATP Masters title. He saved five match points in a quarterfinal victory over Gael Monfils, and built a more comfortable margin against the big-swinging Kyrgios by breaking serve four times.
