Andy Murray went down awkwardly during his Indian Wells semifinal win over Roger Federer on Saturday, but he looks good to go for the title match against Rafael Nadal.
Andy Murray appeared to survive a possible injury on Saturday when he took an awkward fall during his 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 semifinal win over Roger Federer at the Masters Series Indian Wells. The world No. 4 said he has been having problems with his left groin, and he appeared to aggravate it when he fell in the fourth game of the third set.
"I got a little bit scared at first," Murray admitted. "Then, once I got up and ran around after a couple points, I knew that it felt okay. It feels fine just now.
"It was sore when I fell over and then after a couple of points it felt okay," added the Scot, who did not lose another game the rest of the way. "I'll have to wait and see once the adrenaline wears off and I cool down."
Federer was also concerned, if only for a moment. "I was worried for him; he went down badly," Federer explained of his opponent. "I was happy to see that he got back up. That was good that he's not injured."
Murray is set to do battle with Rafael Nadal in the BNP Paribas Open title match on Sunday afternoon. They recently contested an injury-plagued final in Rotterdam, where Murray was dealing with an ankle problem and Nadal had his knee flare up again. Murray prevailed in three sets.

Muzza will be just fine. He's young, even for a tennis star and he's a tough Scot. The stumble did look like it hurt though and RF was at the net to check on Muzza as fast as I saw him go for the tennis ball in the 3rd set.
I wonder about the final today Ricky. How bad do you think Murray wants the win? Clearly Rafa did not play his best tennis yesterday and A-Rod missed chances to win. The heavens opened up offering Nalbandian 5 matchpoints to win! Not that Rafa is not the best clutch player around, but really, Nalbandian double-faulted at one of those match opportunites. Point here is: Muzza will need to play out of his mind and be spot on, on the big points.
Rafa wins IW final in three. Crowd will be fair. Well maybe, at least they will want a good match and 3 sets.
