Nadal’s 2009 titles before Indian Wells?

Question

How many titles had Rafael Nadal won by the beginning of the Indian Wells tournament in 2009? Injury has so far robbed the Spaniard of the chance to win any from the Australian Open until Indian Wells this year, and he was runner-up to Nikolay Davydenko at Doha.

Answer 1

Nadal had only won one title by Indian Wells in 2009 – that was the Australian Open – and added his second for the year at this tournament. He’d also been runner-up at Rotterdam.
