The Indian Wells Masters is on its peak. It has seen the exit of Federer by the hands of Nadal. In this half there is Tomas Berdych, who beat Kevin Anderson to reach in the semis of Indian wells for the first time in his career. Now he has to face Rafael Nadal to qualify for the finals. Rafael Nadal is looking in a very good form after beating Federer comprehensively and looking like a man to beat. But it would be not an easy task to get rid of Berdych so easily. Because his performance so far in 2013 is good. He is only defeated by Djokovic in Australian Open and Dubai. He defeated Federer in Dubai and reached in the finals. This shows that he has capacity to beat top players including Nadal. Though Berdych does not hold a good record against Nadal but anything can happen at this semi finals.
Prediction: Nadal bt Berdych in three tight sets
In the other half of the draw tables have been turned by Del Potro when he beat Murray when he was a set down. And Djokovic beat Tsonga in straight sets and he is man to beat in 2013. Djokovic is yet to drop a set at Indian Wells. As far as Del Potro's victory against Murray is concern, that was a fight back victory. Therefore, it will be not so easy as it is expected that he will lose against Djokovic as the other opponents did. Although Djokovic is in his prime and playing at a high level that can not be caught by another player. But Del Potro has proved time and time again that he has ability to beat top players. At US open 2009 when no one could think of winning a major by another player other than Federer or Nadal, he defeated both of them in semis and final to take that title. He has a huge forehand and height. Therefore, he will be tough test for king of hard courts.
