Roger Federer celebrating his semi-final win at Indian Wells<\/p><\/div>\n

Roger Federer was fighting to make it to the finals at Indian Wells. The world\u2019s top ranked player was down set games in the first set won the second but was struggling in the third. It looked like Borna Coric might take the third set and head to the finals, but clearly, Federer was not down for the count.<\/p>\n

Federer fought hard to rally back and win the third set 6-4 and was able to wrap up the victory as a result to win the match and move onto the finals at Indian Wells. Federer<\/a> stated that he felt he should have lost today’s match, but luck was on his side. Today\u2019s semi-final win gives him the chance to win his 6th title.<\/p>\n

Coric, speaking about the loss stated,<\/p>\n

“I went for my shots. I was not waiting. I made the right choices all the time. He was just a better player in those specific moments. At the end, he just got through.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Federer will now meet Juan Martin del Potro<\/a> in Sunday\u2019s final. Martin is 6th in the word and succeeded in beating Canada\u2019s Raonic in just over an hour of semi-final play. It was his 400th career win and tenth consecutive victory.<\/p>\n

Federer pulled out all the stops in the last four games to win the last four matches. When faced against Juan Martin del Potro, he is 18-6 with the last two matches being during quarterfinal and final action at the U.S Open.<\/p>\n

Said Federer,<\/p>\n

“It didn\u2019t come easy, so I had to go get it. You need to be match-tough, you need to be confident, have experience, and I think I have a bit of all of that right now, and that\u2019s the reason I won.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The third set saw five breaks with Federer training four to three, but he came back with two deuces and won the final three matches in what was a 2 hour and twenty-minute battle. Coric had some issues with the lineman after a forehand was called when in match point play. The replay showed the ball was just outside of the line.<\/p>\n
