Wawrinka, Federer in Indian Wells final

Stan Wawrinka and Roger Federer have set up an all-Swiss final in the California desert with straight-sets wins on Saturday.

Wawrinka routed Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3 6-2 in their semi-final to reach Sunday’s Indian Wells decider after needing third-set tiebreakers to win his previous two matches.

He dispatched Carreno Busta while never facing a break point in the 64-minute match on Saturday. The Spaniard fell to 0-3 in his career against the Swiss.

No. 21 Carreno Busta was the lowest seed to reach the semi-finals at the desert tournament since 2014. It was the biggest semi-final of his career, having failed in 16 previous tries to reach that round in an ATP Masters 1000 event.

Wawrinka advanced to his first Indian Wells final, having lost in last year’s semis.

Australian Open champion Roger Federer continued his sizzling form to beat American Jack Sock 6-1 7-6 (7-4).

Four-time Indian Wells champion Federer, playing some of the best tennis of career at age 35, needed only 21 minutes to take the first set before winning a second-set tiebreak.
