Indian Wells Update: Potential "Big 4" Semis

An interesting draw is shaping up at Indian Wells, where a potential "Big 4" semifinals might just happen. We're not talking about the men's singles draw, as we've seen that a few times before already. We're talking about the men's doubles draw! None of the "Big 4" doubles teams are actually seeded, so the odds that they were drawn in different quarters are incredibly low.

The Spanish duo of Nadal-Lopez, the defending Indian Wells doubles champs, have already booked a spot in the semis. It's up to the three other teams to make this fantasy draw a reality. It also helps that the top seeds have already been eliminated from the tournament.

[Top half]
A. Murray-J. Murray vs. A. Dolgopolov-X. Malisse
N. Djokovic-V. Troicki vs. R. Bopanna-A. Qureshi

[Bottom half]
R. Nadal-M. Lopez def. L. Dlouhy-P. Hanley
R. Federer-S. Wawrinka vs. M. Knowles-M. Mertinak
