Federer and Nadal roll into quarters at Indian Wells
Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal remained on course for a mouthwatering semi-final clash at the BNP Paribas Open with straightforward fourth-round victories.
Federer needed just over an hour to dispatch Kyle Edmund 6-1 6-4 in their first career meeting and reach the quarter-finals on a sunny and breezy day in Indian Wells.
Next up for Federer is Hubert Hurkacz, who defeated Denis Shapovalov 7-6(3) 2-6 6-3 earlier in the day to set up his first career meeting with the Swiss Master.
Kecmanovic rides his luck into Indian Wells quarters
Miomir Kecmanovic was up 6-4 when Yoshihito Nishioka retired with an injury from their fourth round match making him the last Serb standing at the ATP Indian Wells Masters.
"I did not see that coming, not at all," said Kecmanovic as he found himself the only one of five Serbs in the men's main draw to reach the last eight.
"It will be funny, that somebody other than Novak is still in," Kecmanovic said.
Kecmanovic wasn't even supposed to be in the field, after falling short in pre-tournament qualifying. But he gained entry to the second round when an elbow injury forced fifth seed Kevin Anderson out.

But during the second, I was doing things well anyway, so just happy having a match that I suffered in the past against Diego. We know each other well, so it's a positive victory for me."

Zverev beaten by compatriot Struff at Indian Wells
A sick Alexander Zverev was sent packing from the BNP Paribas Open with a 6-3 6-1 defeat by fellow German Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round at Indian Wells, California on Monday.
The night match between world number one Novak Djokovic, who is playing his first tournament since his Australian Open triumph in January, and Philipp Kohlschreiber was suspended with the top seed leading 1-0.

Raonic rallies to reach Indian Wells fourth round
Milos Raonic survived a scare from 217th-ranked qualifier Marcos Giron Monday, rallying in the third set for a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory in the third round of the ATP Indian Wells Masters.
Giron, 25, looked set to claim the biggest win of a career that has been hindered by two hip operations when he took a 4-1 lead in the third set.
But Raonic called on all of his experience to turn things around against the American, who had never won two ATP Tour matches in a row until this week.
