Djokovic gets serious

Novak Djokovic came to Indian Wells for the first time in four years without a title this season.

He left with a $1 million check and his first trophy of the year, beating Roger Federer 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3) on Sunday to win the BNP Paribas Open for the third time.

"Not winning a title and coming here, there were certain doubts," Djokovic said. "I had ups and downs in my concentration in the opening rounds, but I managed to stay mentally strong and have that self-belief. That's something that definitely makes this title very special to me."
