Thiem tames Federer to take Indian Wells title

INDIAN WELLS, California - Roger Federer came out playing like his legendary self - so much so that Dominic Thiem needed a set to adjust to what he was seeing across the net.

Thiem went on to beat Federer 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 and win the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday, denying the Swiss superstar a record sixth title in the desert.

"It just feels unreal what happened," Thiem said. "He's such a legend."
