Federer beats Wawrinka for fifth Indian Wells title

INDIAN WELLS, United States - Roger Federer defeated Stan Wawrinka 6-4, 7-5 in an all-Swiss final on Sunday to win his fifth ATP Indian Wells Masters title.

Federer, who won his 18th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January, broke three-time Grand Slam champion Wawrinka in the final game to seal the triumph on his first match point.

He joined Novak Djokovic as the only five-time winners of the Indian Wells men's title, adding another victory to those he captured in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2012.
