Tennis: Federer focused on Indian Wells success
Federer clinched a pair of titles in 2012, winning the last two tournaments he has entered in Rotterdam and Dubai.
INDIAN WELLS:
Roger Federer heads into the Indian Wells tournament riding a modest win streak and hoping to recapture the magic that saw him win three straight in the California desert from 2004-2006.
The 16-time Grand Slam winner has already clinched a pair of titles in 2012, winning the last two tournaments he has entered in Rotterdam and last week in Dubai. “For me it has been good, my body has been taking a beating but it is holding up well,” said Federer.
“I don’t think I have over-played, but I’ve played enough. I have to be careful I do everything right not to get injured.” Federer clinched his fifth Dubai Open title and 72nd career ATP Tour crown with an impressive win over Andy Murray.
