Federer just chose to make an exist cos he was feeling lazy this week. I'm worried my favourite playes all seemed to "choose" to go out early in the tournament. Federer, Berdych, Safin, Blake, ,
I only just realised they were all making way for one my other favourite young guns (Gasquet, Murray, Djokivic) or Gonzalez/Ljubicic to win their first master shied so it ain't that bad,

Most of the players who did well last season are finding it difficult to find their form, Blake especially.

Second seed Nadal was pushed all the way by Argentinian Juan Ignacio Chela before coming out on top 7-57-5, while Roddick only just squeezed his way past Ivan Ljubicic thanks to two tie-break victories 7-6 7-6.

i go 4 Nadal; who d'u tip?

RuuDie:

well it's a Nadal vs Roddick semi-final show-down on the cards this wkend!

i go 4 Nadal; who d'u tip?

Vamos Rafa!

In the other semi-final, the 13th seeded Murray will meet 12th seed Novak Djokovic of Serbia, who overpowered 14th seed David Ferrer of Spain 6-3 6-4.

Andy Murray overcame an ankle injury and staved off two match points on his way to a 3-6 6-3 7-6 victory over German ninth seed Tommy Haas in the quarter-finals of the Pacific Life Open.

Despite blasting 16 aces, the oldest of the four remaining players fell 6-4 6-3 to Rafael Nadal.

Nadal will meet the winner between Murray and Djokovic in the final.

As expected, the youngsters have taken over!

Novak Djokovic overwhelmed Andy Murray 6-2 6-3 to reach the Indian Wells Masters final on Saturday.

Djokovic meets Nadal in the final.

Their only meeting was at Roland Garros in 2006 where Nadal won in straight sets.

SMH @ a retrieving clay-courter winning Pacific Life ahead of the likes of Roddick and Ljubicic. Even when Federer decided to give them a chance by exiting early these clowns still can't do nuthing! Their only real chance's just gone under water, Federer wouldn't be that lenient for a another looooooooooooooooooooooooooog time to come. Bunch of morons if you ask me.

     

Nadal ends title drought.

Rafael Nadal won his first tournament since last year’s French Open, as he defeated Serbian teenager Novak Djokovic 6-2 7-5 in the Indian Wells Masters final.
