After a very disappointing Australian Open, ATP No. 1 Rafael Nadal has his game back in formidable shape. Nadal overcame a 4-1 deficit to beat Juan Martin Del Potro 64, 64 yesterday.

Nadal now bids for his third Indian Wells BNP Paribas Open title (2007, 2009) this afternoon against rival Novak Djokovic. Nadal is 16-7 lifetime against the Serb and he’s never lost to Djokovic in a tournament final (5-0).

Nadal is appearing his 57th ATP World Tour level final and his 25h ATP Masters 1000. He is 43-13 in finals, 18-6 in 1000 finals.


Since his loss to David Ferrer at the Australian Open, Nadal’s won all seven matches losing just one set (Karlovic).

Here’s Nadal’s ATP interview:
