Roger Federer has beaten Hubert Hurkacz 6-4 6-4 to reach the semi-finals of the Masters 1000 event Indian Wells in pursuit of a record sixth title.
Federer hasn’t dropped a set in four matches in the desert and has been broken just once.
He fought off two break points in the second set, including the last game when he closed the match with a forehand winner.
Rafael Nadal faces Karen Khachanov later for the chance to play Federer for the 39th time in their storied careers.
Milos Raonic and Dominic Thiem have already advanced to the other semi-final.
