BNP Paribas Open: Roger Federer through to fourth round


Roger Federer made short work of Filip Krajinovic to reach the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

In his first tournament since his return to number one in the ATP Rankings, the defending champion faced 25th seed Krajinovic for the first time.

Federer was clearly not in the mood to get acquainted with the Serbian, though, running out a comfortable 6-2 6-1 winner in just under an hour.

Next the 36-year-old Swiss superstar will face Jeremy Chardy, who beat fellow Frenchman Julien Benneteau in three sets.
