Miami - World number two Rafael Nadal reached the Sony Ericsson Open final with a 7-6 6-2 win over Czech Tomas Berdych in windy conditions on Friday.

Nadal took 70 minutes to snatch a close-fought opening set, winning the tiebreak 8-6 after 10th seed Berdych double-faulted.

The number two seed then breezed through the second set to claim a 4-3 lead in career meetings with Berdych.
