Novak Djokovic is fired up by his participation in the Indian Wells Masters 1000, which he has not participated in for five long years. The world number one has won this prestigious tournament several times and he intends to add another trophy to his collection.
In the Californian desert, Djokovic had success but lost big matches against Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Precisely, during this edition, Rafa will be there and although he is clearly not the favorite, the Spaniard has won the title three times (2007, 2009, and 2013) he was finalist in 2011 and 2022 and semi-finalist six times (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 2016 and 2019).
Nole: Indian Wells is a special tournament
The Serbian officially began his splendid career and made a solid breakthrough into the top-10 in 2007 when he reached the final of the Indian Wells masters, so it is no coincidence that this competition is special for him: “ The first time I won the title in Indian Wells, it was one of the most important titles of my career at the time.
I remember facing Mardy Fish in the final. I was lucky enough to win the tournament four more times and play epic final matches against Federer, Nadal and many great players of the time. I’m really looking forward to coming back, it’s a special tournament for me.”
