All-Swiss men's final at Indian Wells
Australian Open holder Roger Federer will take on compatriot Stan Wawrinka in the the final of the Indian Wells tennis tournament.
Issued on: Modified:
Federer, who has been champion in California four times, got by Jack Sock in the semis - winning 6-1 7-6.
Wawrinka defeated Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3 6-2.
Federer is arguably in slightly better physical condition than his next opponent, who is four years his junior, after receiving a walkover in the last-eight due to Nick Kyrgios suffering from food poisoning. It took only 21-minutes for Federer to win the first set against American, Sock.
Federer and Wawrinka have played one another 22 times during their careers; Wawrinka has won on only three occasions, never on a hard court.
Asked during a press conference at Indian Wells to analyse the match-up, Wawrinka had little to offer.
"Roger, we all know him, so nothing to say," he said, smiling.
