World number one Djokovic was named this week on the entry list for Indian Wells, where he is a five-time champion. “Novak has submitted all the required documentation and a request, and the directors of the Indian Wells and Miami tournaments have publicly said Novak is needed at those tournaments and that they want him to come.
