Roger Federer defeated Marcis Baghdatis 6-3 6-4 in the semifinals, one day after the resurgent Cypriot had taken out World #1 Rafael Nadal in a tight 6-4 4-6 6-4 match.In Sunday's final Federer will face Mardy Fish, who defeated Andy Roddick in a rain-delayed match 4-6 7-6(3) 6-1 after Roddick led 6-4 5-2 before a crucial rain delay.
This will be Federer's second consecutive final in as many weeks. He lost last week to Andy Murray. Fish has only beaten Federer once before (in six tries), but it was the last time they played, in the semifinals of Indian Wells in 2008, and in straight sets.
