Murray limps out in semi-finals
Andy Murray was troubled by a hip injury as he was knocked out of the
Indian Wells Masters in the semi-finals by Serbian teenager Novak Djokovic.
Murray, whose hip was injured in his quarter-final on Friday, was broken
five times in total as he lost 6-2 6-3.
Murray said: "After the first couple of games, I realised that when you
can't change direction and when the movement is missing, it's quite hard to
play."
Rafael Nadal beat home favourite Andy Roddick 6-4 6-3 in the other semi.

Murray later admitted he considered withdrawing from the match while he
received treatment.
But he said: "I spoke to the trainer and he said: 'you're not going to do
more damage (to the ankle) by playing.'

It's too early to say if Murray can truly challenge Federer, but he will win

"If I didn't go on the court, that would have been fine, but when I did go
on, I might as well have played the match because it's not like it was going
to get worse."
The world number 13 admitted he was still aching from the injuries
sustained in his quarter-final against Haas and said he had not slept well
the night before.
He added: "Every single place I moved to, whether it be my elbow, or the
cut on my knee, just felt pretty uncomfortable.
"None of them were really bad. It's just when you have four or five small
injuries, it's kind of difficult to compensate."
I played good mentally
Rafael Nadal
After suffering with injuries and a loss of form in the second half of
2006, Nadal has rediscovered his game.
The 20-year-old made 33 winners and only 12 unforced errors as he saw
off Roddick in one hour 13 minutes.
He broke Roddick's serve three times in their match, moving ahead in
game five and breaking twice more in the second set.
And the Spaniard made an impressive 87% of first serves.
"I am serving well," said Nadal. "Not as fast as him but I changed it up,
to the side and down the middle. I played good mentally."
Roddick admitted: "He played super aggressive. I didn't serve well and
combine that with me shooting myself in the foot and it was an uphill
battle."
