Rafael Nadal has advanced to the finals of the BNP Paribas Open, but at the beginning of the tournament, the No. 5 ranked played in the world spoke of lacking confidence due to his nagging knee and was also questioning the anticipated results. He even considered skipping the tournament in order to spare his knees. Now he gets a chance to play for his third title. Yesterday, Nadal topped No. 6 Tomas Berdych, 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the title match at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Fans were expecting Rafa vs. Djoker, but Juan Martin del Potro was not going to be denied his shot to face Nadal in the final.
