Mardy Fish will play Roger Federer in the last four
|
Unseeded Mardy Fish shocked seventh seed David Nalbandian to set up a last four meeting with Roger Federer in the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells.
The American continued his unbeaten record against the Argentine with a 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-4) victory.
Federer received a walkover into the semi-finals after Germany's Tommy Haas withdrew from their quarter-final with a sinus infection.
The world number one is attempting to reach his first final of 2008.
Haas, 29, had beaten sixth-seed Andy Roddick and Andy Murray, seeded 11th, on his way to the quarter-finals.
"I am very sorry for Tommy as I was looking forward to another great match with him," said Federer, who has won eight of 10 meetings with Haas.
"We have played quite a few times, and I know and respect Tommy a lot. I hope he gets better quickly."
