Game Point: Federer wins and buys pizza for the ballkids

Game Point is Busted Racquet's roundup of news, stats and links from around the web.

Love -- Playing in his hometown of Basel, Switzerland, Roger Federer won his second tournament of 2011, defeating Kei Nishikori 6-1, 6-3. Then he went out and bought the ballkids pizza and served it on a silver platter.

15 -- To some, Novak Djokovic's loss to Kei Nishikori in Basel means the world No. 1's 2011 season won't go down as the greatest in history. Back in September we vowed not to revisit the question until the ATP season was finished, but it's hard to imagine that losing in a 500 event with a back injury would make his three-Slam season any less impressive. If that injury forces him out of Paris and the ATP World Tour Finals, that's a different story.

30 -- Ana Ivanovic thinks she can become No. 1 again. A win in Bali was a step in the right direction.

40 -- A version of the Nike cardigan Federer wore at Wimbledon in 2008 is on sale on eBay and the buyer touts it's one of only 40 made. Amazingly, there's been little interest at the $1,200 asking price.
