Rafael Nadal says he is determined to improve his poor record on indoor courts as he bids to win the ATP Finals for the first time in his illustrious career. The Spaniard, whose haul of 86 singles titles includes just one on indoor hard courts, is chasing the biggest prize missing from his resume at the eight-man elite event at London's O2 Arena. Nadal has qualified for the ATP Finals for a record 16 consecutive years but has been forced to withdraw on six occasions. Speaking on Friday, he said there were a number of factors for his failure to shine indoors, including fatigue at end-of-season events and a preference for other surfaces.
"We can find excuses or reasons but at the end of the day the numbers are the numbers," Nadal said. "I think I have played less indoors than in other places without a doubt." The second seed, who drew level with Roger Federer on 20 Grand Slams by winning last month's French Open, said his game was not ideally suited to fast courts.
