Very recently, Spanish ace won Mexican Open without dropping a set. World No. 4 has won Indian Wells 3 times (in 2007, 2009, and 2013) and reached semis 10 times before. If he manages to win the title, he will be the oldest player to do so, breaking Roger Federer’s record of aged 35 years 7 months and 11 days.

Though he was defeated by Matteo Berrettini in the Australian Open 3rd round match, the youngster can fancy his chances against the big guns in Indian Wells.
