Rafael Nadal ensured his place in at least one final this weekend at the BNP Paribas Open, after teaming up with fellow Spaniard Marc Lopez for a 6-4, 6-4 semi-final win over sixth-seeded duo Simon Aspelin and Paul Hanley on Friday afternoon in Indian Wells.
Nadal will play his singles semi-final against Croatian Ivan Ljubicic at noon Saturday, before he and Lopez compete for the doubles title at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tennis tournament after 5:00pm.

Nadal and Lopez are playing in their fifth tournament together, and claimed an ATP World Tour title on their partnership debut – defeating Nestor and Zimonjic in the 2009 Doha final.
The 23-year-old Nadal claimed both the singles and doubles (w/Robredo) titles two years ago in Monte Carlo, becoming just the fourth player in the history of the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments to accomplish the feat.
Lopez and Nadal will again meet Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic in the championship match after the tournament's No. 1 seeds defeated big-serving American duo John Isner and Sam Querrey, 6-4, 6-2, in 58 minutes.
The Canadian-Serbian combination - co-ranked No. 1 on the ATP Doubles Rankings - is through to its fourth final from six events in 2010, having won Sydney and Rotterdam and finishing runners-up at at the Australian Open.
Their best prior result at the BNP Paribas Open was a runner-up finish in 2008, although Nestor is a four-time former champion in Indian Wells with Mark Knowles.
