MIAMI — Orange streamers rained down while Roger Federer held another championship trophy aloft, his familiar grin as wide as ever. Now 37, Federer became tennis’ first repeat champion of 2019 when he won his 101st career title Sunday by beating a hobbled John Isner in the Miami Open final, 6-1, 6-4. “Unbelievable for you to keep winning and playing this level of tennis,” Miami tournament director James Blake, a former top-five player, told Federer at the trophy presentation. “You were entirely too good today, entirely too good this whole tournament,” Isner said. Federer first played in the Miami tournament as a wild card 20 years ago.
