The Spaniard looks set to make a \"last-minute\" decision on his participation in the tournament but is fully expecting to compete at Indian Wells next month.\n<p>However, the 22-time Grand Slam champion remains hopeful of competing at the ATP 1000 Indian Wells hard-court tournament, which takes place between March 3 and 17.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I have had some discomfort in recent weeks and I am a little bit on the limit,\u201d Nadal said to Spanish media, Relevo. \"At this point, every blow I take, every injury, is a setback, not only in tennis and physically but also mentally.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI trust 100% to be in Indian Wells, it is a very special tournament for me. I don't know if it will be the last time I am going to play it, so I would like to be in Indian Wells, for sure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI would love to be in Doha, but I will see the decision for Doha more at the last minute. I will travel to Indian Wells if there is nothing wrong, for sure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMy priority goal, which is what I said from the beginning, is to get to the clay season as healthy as possible. I want to try to give myself the option to enjoy the clay season.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After missing a year of action due to a hip flexor issue, the 37-year-old returned to action at the Brisbane Open last month, but Jordan Thompson defeated him in three sets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>There were then expectations that Nadal would play in the Australian Open this year, but after losing to Thompson, he declared himself out of the competition due to a \"micro tear\" in his hip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
