(Reuters) - Belgian David Goffin continued his giant-killing run at Indian Wells as he stormed into the last four of the BNP Paribas Open with a 7-6(4) 6-2 upset victory over 10th-seeded Croat Marin Cilic on Thursday.
A day after ousting third seed Stan Wawrinka, Goffin battled hard to reach his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 semi-final, saving 11 of 12 break points before sealing the win in just over an hour-and-a-half.
The six-foot six-inch (1.98 metres) Cilic, who squandered four set points in the opening set, lost for an eighth consecutive time in the quarter-finals of a Masters 1000 event.
