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.
