Men's Indian Wells Final Prediction

John Isner after his huge win over Djokovic in the Indian Wells semifinals

Federer beats Nadal on an outdoor hardcourt for the first time since 2005!?!

I'm pretty excited for today's final between Federer and Isner. I want Roger to win because I always want Roger to win. But I'll also be very happy for John if he wins because he seems like a nice guy and he's also never won a Masters 1000 title before.

Winning this final will mean a lot to Federer because a) he sort of needs a big win right now, b) it will mean he has 19 Masters titles which will tie him for the most ever with Nadal, c) it's embarrassing to lose to Isner twice in a short period of time so it's a must-win situation, and d) Gavin Rossdale and Anna Wintour will be seriously depressed if he can't pull this win off.

As for Isner, winning will mean a lot to him because a) he's never won a Masters title before, b) it will move him up to 8th in the ATP rankings, and c) he can brag to his friends that he beat the greatest player of all time AND the number one player in the world in the same tournament. Oh and d) maybe Caroline Wozniacki will finally agree to go out with him (remember those amazingly flirty twitter conversations those two used to have? Isner and Wozniacki's Twitter Flirtation).

I'm going to go with Federer winning in three sets. I think Isner will win one set in a tiebreak (possibly the first set), but that he'll be nervous about winning his first big title and won't be able to take two sets off Fed. But who knows, I clearly did not think Isner could take out Djokovic, so anything is possible. Looking forward to an exciting match!

Federer Talks Fashion with Anna Wintour

We all know Anna Wintour has a thing for Roger—she's gushed about him in interviews, taken him to fashion shows, and can often be seen sitting in his box during his matches. What we did not know, but should have assumed, is that Anna gives Roger advice on what to wear both on and off the court. NYMag.com reports that Roger said the following at the Nike Primetime Knockout benefit this week:

"I kind of ask her [Anna Wintour] sometimes what she thinks," he says. "I get a very strong second opinion."

"I asked her about the pink color I was wearing last week and she was like, 'Oh, you sure about that Roger?' Too late now! But I got good reviews." 

I wish Anna Wintour gave me style advice. But I'd settle for just being invited to Fashion Week.
