Federer rolls, Nadal upset by Raonic at Indian Wells (Yahoo Sports)
Roger Federer defeated Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-0 and Milos Raonic outlasted Rafael Nadal 4-6, 7-6 (10), 7-5 in a nearly three-hour marathon to set up a semifinal showdown at the BNP Paribas Open on Friday. Federer avenged that defeat in the same round at Indian Wells. ”I’m not the kind of guy who takes great joy out of bageling opponents, to be honest,” said Federer, seeking a record fifth title in the desert. ”He was doing pretty much everything perfect.” Top-ranked Serena Williams played No. 3 seed Simona Halep and No. 18 Jelena Jankovic faced 24th-seeded Sabine Lisicki in evening semifinals.
