The BNP Paribas showdown will have matches between some of the greatest doubles and singles players in the world at the greatest Indoor venue in the world, the recently refurbished, Madison Square Garden. 

In the first match scheduled at 7:15 pm. ET, the current #1 doubles team in the world by far, the Bryan brothers, take on the greatest singles/doubles player in the Open Era, John McEnroe, and his brother Patrick.  The match will be on ESPN3 and streamed.

Following that, in the second match of the evening, #2 in the world Novak Djokovic will take on #6 Andy Murray, OBE in a rematch of their last meeting in New York, the 2012 US Open final, where Andy won his first major. Since then Mr. Murray, OBE, and Mr. Djokovic have split their major meetings at one apiece in 2013, with Novak taking the 2013 Australian Open, and Andy, the Wimbledon Championships. This match will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Some reputations are on the line... ;)
Who will win these amazing matches?

Great poster general.  Has to be worth a trip to New York, but I think it might be sold out... :(

General hercules , I'm picking Nole to edge Murray, and the McEnroes to edge the Bryans.

Nole needs the win for his confidence heading into Indian Wells, while Andy will just enjoy himself, get another match in, and besides he is still recovering from the back surgery..

Johnny McEnroe has been playing top flight seniors singles tennis recently. Last week in the Champions Challenge in Salt Lake City, the 55 year old  beat Sampras 6-3 and then barely lost in the final to 34 year old James Blake.  I think he's ready for some serious doubles with his brother.  Patrick just has to get his serve in, and take care of as much of his side of the court as he can, which probably isn't too much if you have seen him lately. ;)   The Bryans will be overconfident and underestimate the McEnroes. :)

I am going to have to agree general. I believe you are spot on.


not sure what is going on with Nole. it was a tough loss for him in Melbourne. that shook his confidence a bit.

that was a variable in our prediction for Dubai. that is why we picked Federer to snatch his 78th title and move past johnny mac.

johnny mac has 77 singles title and 77 doubles titles.

What day does this match come on? The date isn't even on the poster.

Edit:

I found it. They're actually showing Serena and Vika's match from last year. Rafa and del Potro's match from last year is coming next.
