Rafael Nadal hopes to leave Indian Wells unscathed

Rafa Nadal expressed his desire to steer clear of any injury setbacks during the Indian Wells tournament, aiming to maintain peak fitness for the approaching clay court season. In what might be his last year on the ATP Tour, the 37-year-old, boasting 14 Grand Slam titles on Roland Garros's red clay, hinted at the possibility of concluding his illustrious career. His absence from this year's Australian Open was attributed to discomfort stemming from a surgically repaired hip.
