INDIAN WELLS, Calif. — Milos Raonic made sure Miomir Kecmanovic’s good luck finally ran out at the BNP Paribas Open. The Canadian beat the 19-year-old Serb 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday to reach the semifinals and improve to 19-4 at Indian Wells since 2014. Kecmanovic was the first lucky loser to reach the quarterfinals at the tournament since it became a Masters 1000 event in 1990.
