You can watch two legends of the game - Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal - in action from Indian Wells, live on Sky Sports 3 on Tuesday night.

Roger Federer takes on Andreas Seppi in the desert in a repeat of their Australian Open third round clash.

The game gives the Swiss maestro a chance to exact some revenge on Seppi, who beat him for the first time in eleven previous meetings, in Melbourne.

The world No 2 is just two victories away from 50 at Indian Wells and on the hunt for his record-breaking fifth championship title. 

“I'm happy to play him again, I was very disappointed with the performance I had in Australia."
Roger Federer

After dismissing Diego Schwartzman 6-4 6-2 last Sunday, the Federer says he looking forward to the challenge of Seppi for a place in the last 16.

"I'm happy to play him again," said the 17-time Grand Slam champion. "I was very disappointed with the performance I had in Australia.

"I know he can play well and can beat me, that's not the problem. It was the way I was hitting the ball. I wasn't playing very committed. I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to hit my forehand and backhands. It was just a tough match overall and the match slipped away from me."

Elsewhere, Nadal takes on American Donald Young on Stadium 1. The third seed is looking to mount his first serious title challenge of 2015 after picking up a win at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires at the start of the month.

Young comes off the back of a Davis Cup defeat to Great Britain in Glasgow a fortnight ago, where he - quite surprisingly - won a set against Andy Murray in their singles rubber match.

Young, who will have the home crowd cheering him on, could find it a struggle against the three-time BNP Paribas champion.
