Federer ready to reign indoors again

Roger Federer has set his sights on more indoor glory after the Swiss great booked his place in the semi-finals of the ATP Tour Finals at London's O2 Arena.

Federer became the first player to qualify for the last four at this year's season-ending event thanks to a 6-4, 7-6 (7/5) victory over Spain's David Ferrer on Thursday and the world number two looks in ominous form as he eyes a seventh Tour Finals title.

Few players have ever been more at home on the indoor courts than Federer and once again he is thriving under the domed roof of the O2 Arena in south-east London, where he has won the Tour Finals for the last two years. In total, Federer has won 20 indoor titles during his illustrious career and the 31-year-old admits he is more comfortable than most playing under roofs after growing up on covered tennis courts.
