On a cold, windy day, Federer claimed his record-tying 19th Masters 1000 title, beating John Isner, 7-6 (7), 6-3, in the final of the BNP Paribas Open. The championship was Federer's fourth at Indian Wells, but his first since winning three straight from 2004 to 2006. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - Save for the chilly breeze that often blows through the desert air after sunset, it is hard to imagine a more perfect setting for tennis than mountain-lined Indian Wells, home of the BNP Paribas Open. The popular non-Grand Slam tournament, which attracts tennis fans from much of the western half of North America, even sells out of general admission grounds passes for certain sessions.

The fifth set will always be remembered as an all-time marathon and an exclamation point to the most cherished record in tennis.

The Texas two-step will not do, not if Andy Roddick intends to win in the Southern California desert for the first time. If he is to emerge as champion of the BNP Paribas Open, he will need a three-step, three-day slog through three of the world's top players. Roddick cleared the first hurdle Friday when he routed Novak Djokovic, the Serb ranked No. 3 in the world, 6-3, 6-2, on a hot afternoon at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Erma Casey and Phyliss Carelock sat in $50 seats near the top of the stadium court at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden on a bright afternoon. They conceded that it seemed like a high tariff to perch a half-dozen rows from the rim of the arena. ''But it would have been 30 percent more without my senior citizen's discount,'' Casey confided. Like most of the fans at the BNP Paribas Open in the desert near Palm Springs, Casey and Carelock would have preferred to see Venus or Serena Williams playing in the women's quarterfinals Thursday on the court below. But they know the drill. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
