Murray and Federer to face off at Indian Wells

Andy Murray will face Roger Federer in the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells after the British number one came through a tough encounter with Ivan Ljubicic 7-5 7-6 (8/6).

Murray is yet to lose a set in this year's tournament after overcoming the 74th-ranked Ljubicic in a little more than two hours but will face a tricky test against Federer, who defeated Fernando Verdasco Spain 6-3 7-6 (7/5) to secure his place in the last four.
