World number one Novak Djokovic recovered from a second-set battle to
beat Roger Federer 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 in the BNP Paribas Open final.
The Serb had dominated the opening set at Indian Wells
but the Swiss rallied in the second set, coming from a break down to win
the tie-break.
Djokovic, 27, seemed rattled both by Federer and the crowd in the decider. But he regained his composure to win his 50th career title and his fourth Indian Wells crown.
"Tough luck Roger, it was a great tournament and you're
a great champion and great competitor," eight-time grand slam
title-winner Djokovic told Sky Sports 3.
"It was a pleasure playing against you and, as you said, hopefully we can play some more this year."
