INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — It’s Federer vs. Nadal again, only this time it’ll be in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open. Nadal’s right knee flared up in the second set for the first time during the tournament. “My goal and my idea is be ready for tomorrow,” Nadal said. “When Rafa is healthy, especially in a place like here in Indian Wells where he feels comfortable, he’s clearly very tough to play,” Federer said. Trailing 3-2 in the second set, Hurkacz had a break point, but Federer closed the game with consecutive forehand winners and an ace.
