Rafael Nadal has denied reports in the Spanish media that he's skipping two major US tennis tournaments on his comeback schedule.

It was reported Wednesday that Nadal had decided to bypass hardcourt events in Indian Wells and Miami, but he's since said his priority is still to play in Indian Wells unless he feels uncomfortable as he continues his recuperation from a knee injury.

His main objective is to be 100 percent fit and in form in time for the French Open at the end of May.
