Roger Federer knocked out by John Isner in third round of Paris Masters

Roger Federer is knocked out of the Paris Masters in three sets by John Isner in the third round of the competition.

Seventeen-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer has been knocked out of the Paris Masters at the third-round stage by John Isner.

The powerful American managed to seal a 7-6(3) 3-6 7-6(5) this afternoon, but it was a hard-fought battle.

There were three break points between them in the first set, but none of them was converted, meaning that a tie-break was required to separate the pair.

Isner managed to edge it 7-3 by breaking Federer's serve twice, but the Swiss managed to bounce back in the second set to go a break up and level the match.

The third set was once again a tense affair as another tie-break was needed after none of the three break points created was converted.

Isner lost serve in the breaker, but breaking Federer twice was enough to wrap up the contest.
