Djokovic Beats Federer In Tight Final
Novak Djokovic fought back to beat Roger Federer in a deciding tie-break 3-6 6-3
7-6 (7-3) in the BNP Paribas Open final in Indian Wells.
The Serb, 26, lost the opening set but, despite not being at his best, clawed
his way back to win the event for the third time.
Djokovic failed to serve out for the match at 5-4 in the third, but kept his
nerve to comfortably win the tie-break.
Djokovic said: "It was a proud achievement. It was not just winning the trophy
but the way I came back from a set down in a couple of matches. That gives me a
lot of confidence."
The run to the final was a big positive for Federer as he had a miserable 2013 season.
In total, Djokovic won 99 points, Federer won 98 points in the tight match.
