Nadal is third favourite for Indian Wells at 5/1 with bet365, equal with Novak Djokovic. However we recommend that Nadal supporters just sprinkle those odds as no one is really expecting anything of the Spaniard in this tournament.

Nadal was forced to retire from his Australian Open quarter-final against Andy Murray with a knee injury and that was the last time fans saw him in action.

It was a worrying sight for Nadal supporters, the six time grand slam champion once again crippled by injury. However he is back to defend his Indian Wells title and has been training hard and without pain for three weeks.

 "We have worked during the pre-season to recover the form which I had when I arrived in Australia. I feel strong and my knees do not hurt me,” Nadal said. “Now I just want to compete.”

Nadal has many points to defend over the next few months as he defends the multiple titles he won this time last year.

The Spaniard says for the time being he is focusing on the level of his tennis rather than results, “"My main objective, the most immediate goal, is to play well during the American hard court season,” he said. “I have 1,000 points to defend at Indian Wells as the defending champion. But the main idea is to play well."
