Rafael Nadal vs Rainer Schuettler 2010 BNP Paribas Open Odds: Coming back from knee injuries, former world No.1 Rafael Nadal [-2000 ML] gets set to make his 2010 BNP Paribas Open debut against sports betting odds underdog Rainer Schuettler [+800 ML] tonight. This will be Nadal’s first match back after falling to No.3 in the world and his first appearance since withdrawing from the Australian Open due to injury.

The last time we saw the Spaniard, he was frustrated, overplayed by Andy Murray and in pain as he tried to play through injury. With the Scot crushing him in the Aussie quarterfinals, Nadal was forced to tap-out and hasn’t played since.

“That was the worst thing because I was playing really well,” Rafa said. “I was believing I can win the tournament there. I had the chance. I had a break in the first (set), a break in the second and I was playing at very good level.

“I think he played really well, too. It was a really good match, no? Both players played really well and I feel like I was at the top the whole time.”

Indian Wells has always been one of the Spaniard’s preferred places to play. This year, he hopes the good times keep rolling in Southern California. “This is one of my favorite tournaments, if not the favorite,” he added. “You feel like you are not playing a tournament. You feel like a little bit out of the world here. I play really well here all the time. Two semi-finals (in 2006 and 2008) and two victories so it’s good tournament for me.”
