Emma Raducanu says she is "not too concerned" about tournament results, as the priority this year is to develop her game.
The 21-year-old has won three matches in the four tournaments she has played since returning from an eight-month absence from the tour through injury.
She will play qualifier Rebeka Masarova in the first round at Indian Wells on Thursday.
"I want to work on becoming a better tennis player," Raducanu said.
"I think for me I'm not too concerned about this year's tournaments.
"A lot of people out there would say that I need matches, but I think that for me I want to work on my game and development.
