Revenge on Fed’s mind!

World No.3 Roger Federer extracted some revenge
on Rafael Nadal and John Isner at the BNP Paribas
at Indian Wells this past weekend.
Nadal and Isner are the only two players to have
beaten Federer since the end of the 2011 U.S. Open.
I knew heading into Sunday BNP Paribas final at Indian Wells that World Np. 3 Roger Federer had revenge on his mind when he took to the court against now, World No. 11 John Isner after losing to the hard-serving big man in their Davis Cup showdown in Switzerland just last month.

How’d I know Fed was looking for a little payback?

Well, just listen to this quote tennis fans.

"Without taking anything away from John in Switzerland, the conditions were extremely tough for both of the players. It was altitude, it was a clay that was virtually unplayable. Every second bounce had a bad bounce in it," Federer said. "So tomorrow hopefully will be a bit more normal."

Federer handled Isner in Sunday’s fnal, beating the quickly-improving American 7-6 (9), 6-3 in a match that was a lot closer than the score would seem to indicate.
