The semifinals were a repeat of the 2009 US Open semis. It was also the first time since 1995 that all four players to reach this stage were Grand Slam champions. En route to the semifinal stage Djokovic broke the record of his Final opponent Nadal for the fewest games lost in the history of Indian Wells Masters as well as in the masters series based on four matches. He lost only 12 games to Golubev, Gulbis, Troicki, Gasquet respectively while Nadal lost 13 in the 2010 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. In Indian Wells Stefan Edberg held the previous record with 17 lost games while reaching the 1990 final.{{cite web|author=Greg Sharko|work=atpworldtour.com|publisher=ATP Tour, Inc.|title=Daily Briefing: Dream Semi-Final Line-Up Set; No. 2 Ranking On The Line |url=http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2011/3/11/Indian-Wells-Saturday-Preview.aspx|date=2011-03-19|access-date=2011-03-20}} The results of the matches were a reverse of the US Open as Djokovic and Nadal won.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=6240609|title=Novak Djokovic wins Indian Wells|date= 22 March 2011|work=ESPN|access-date=28 September 2011}}

Before their quarter final match, Azarenka and Wozniacki led the crowd in a spontaneous tribute to the people of Japan, leading a period of silence as they came out on court with a Japanese flag. The players wrote on the flag a message for Japan; 'Our Thoughts Are With You.' The match itself only lasted three games as Azaerenka had to retire with a hip injury.{{Cite web|url=http://www.wtatennis.com/news/20110317/caroline-victorias-moment-of-silence_2256076_2318492|title = Women's Tennis Association - Official Website}}
