World No. 3 Rafael Nadal looks to make his first tennis appearance since the Australian Open in Indian Wells next week.
With Roger Federer working to be fit after a lung infection for next week's start of the Indian Wells Masters, there's news from the Rafael Nadal camp, with the Spaniard keen to return to action after a month and a half away.
Nadal has been resting and rehabbing a knee injury which forced him to quit against Andy Murray at the Australian Open in January.
He posted on his Facebook page with news of his progress, citing a goal to come back and defend his title in the Californian desert.
Nadal and Federer are expected to front up for a Hit for Haiti 2 earthquake benefit a week from Friday at Indian Wells along with Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi. The charity event is a re-run of one instigated by Federer the day before the Australian Open.
