Team New Zealand have advanced to the America's Cup final after defeating Artemis in race seven today.

The win gave TNZ a 5-2 win in the challenger final series.

Commentator Peter Lester told Mike Hosking Team NZ has only got better and better.

"If they can strike Oracle in that sort of condition in a week's time I think Oracle are going to have their hands full," he said.

The opening race of the America's Cup final is on Sunday morning.
