Roger Federer defeated by unseeded American Mardy Fish! Djokovic avenged his defeat last year.

The American prevails and successfully oust out the World No.1 Roger Federer for the first time in his ATP career. The unseeded American Mardy Fish is aiming for his first ATP Masters Series title with a terrific run beating Mayer Florian, No.31 seed Igor Andreev, No.4 seed Nikolay Davydenko, No.24 seed Lleyton Hewitt, No.7 seed David Nalbandian and the World No.1 Roger Federer. Mardy Fish took only 63mins to finsh off Roger Federer 6-3, 6-2 and sets up a clash with the World No.3 Novak Djokovic. It was a disappointment for Roger Federer with his perfect record of not dropping a set and last until semifinals in this year Indian Wells Masters Series. I thought he stands a good chance of reaching the finals this year and regain his confidence a little after a lousy start this year. I will hope that he can pick himself up for the next ATP Masters Series in Miami starting from 26th Mar to 6th Apr 08.

World No.3 Novak Djokovic relinquishes his victory over World No.2 Rafael Nadal to avenge his defeat in last year Indian Wells finals. Djokovic overrun Nadal 6-3, 6-2 as well in 87mins to fight for his first ATP Masters Series title this year. The two finalists had only met each other for one time in the second round of the 2006 US Open and Djokovic won 7-6(5) 6-4 3-6 7-6(3). Mardy Fish will need to take down one more Top seed player to achieve his first ATP Masters Series title. I would support the American Mardy Fish in the finals. All the best Mardy!

The order of play today starts at 12noon local time with the WTA Singles finals between World No.2 Ana Ivanovic and World No.3 Svetlana Kuznetsova then followed by the ATP Singles finals between unseeded Mardy Fish and World No.3 Novak Djokovic.
