(Reuters) - Big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic overcame a second-set wobble to reach the final of the BNP Paribas Open with a 6-3 3-6 6-3 victory over Belgian David Goffin in California on Saturday.
The 12th-seeded Raonic, bidding for his second ATP title of the year and his first ever Masters 1000 crown, will take on either defending champion Novak Djokovic or three-times Indian Wells winner Rafa Nadal in Sunday's final.
Top-seeded Serb Djokovic and Spanish left-hander Nadal, the fourth seed, were scheduled to play their semi-final at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden later on Saturday.
"I lost my way a little bit (in the second set), I got into his rhythm," Raonic told ESPN in a courtside interview after sealing victory in two hours to improve his record for the year to 14-1.
