INDIAN WELLS, US: Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka set up an all-Swiss showdown for the ATP Indian Wells Masters title on Saturday with straight-sets semifinal victories. Federer, who won his 18th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, subdued 17th-seeded American Jack Sock 6-1, 7-6 (4) to earn a crack at a record-equaling fifth Indian Wells title. But Federer won six of the next seven points, including the last three, as he sealed the contest on his first opportunity. “The second set was more like what I expected the first set to be. Federer has won 19 of 22 career meetings with Wawrinka, including a semi-final win at the Australian Open in January.
