Tennis: Federer captures fourth Indian Wells title
INDIAN WELLS, California: World No. 3 Roger Federer beat 11th-seeded John Isner 7-6 (9/7), 6-3 on Sunday to win the ATP/WTA Indian Wells men's title for a record fourth time.

The Swiss star's fourth Indian Wells title is one more than the old mark he had shared with Jimmy Connors and Michael Chang.

One of the hottest players on the ATP Tour, Federer has now captured three straight titles after winning back-to-back finals in Rotterdam and Dubai.

Federer avenged a loss to American Isner earlier this year in Davis Cup play. (AFP)
