Roger Federer has said that he is "playing very well" as he prepares for his opening match at the BNP Paribas Open.
Federer had a miserable Australian Open in January, but he beat Novak Djokovic to claim the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships 11 days ago.
He told reporters: "Today, I don't feel like I have that many bad days anymore. Maybe sometimes you come out and it's not working, that's something that happened very few times in the years where I was very dominant. Otherwise, I feel like I am playing very well."
Federer, who is a four-time champion in Indian Wells, will kick off his assault this year against either Jerzy Janowicz or Diego Schwartzman.
