Intro:

Djokovic beats Federer to win in the final of BNP Paribas Open.

Script:

A colossal match up to finish at the Indian Wells Final.

Djokovic may have been favourite against the world number eight Roger Federer, yet the Swiss man broke early and consolidated the break with his ever graceful forehand.

The 17-time Grand Slam Champion wrapped up the set 6-3.

Into the second and we had to wait longer this time for the break. It came in the seventh game, Djokovic here whipping a forehand to give himself two break points, he took his chance.

With the game at one set-a-piece, perhaps fittingly it went to a tie-break in the decider.

The Serbian took an immediate mini-break and here put himself two love up.

He continued to hold a lead until the decisive moment came on the Djokovic serve, if the unforced error was seemingly tame from Federer, it didnt' represent what was a great contest.

The players now move onto Miami - the final hardcourt week before the clay court season takes over.
