Argentina's Juan Martin Del Potro jumped to sixth place after he stunned Federer 6-4, 6-7 (8), 7-6 (2) to win his first Indian Wells title on Sunday.
The win ranks right up there with Del Potro's 2009 U.S. Open title triumph, in which he beat Federer, and helping Argentina win the Davis Cup in 2016.
The 29-year-old Argentine star beat three straight players ranked ahead of him in the hard-court event, topping No. 6 Dominic Thiem in the quarterfinals, No. 5 Alexander Zverev in the semifinals and eighth-ranked Anderson in finals.
Matches weren't halted Thursday as the highs stayed just below 40 Celsius for much of the day, but that doesn't mean the heat didn't cause issues for the players.
Isner will next face Serbian qualifier Filip Krajinovic, who advanced when Nadal withdrew.
