"It's not easy," said Dimitrov about facing Federer. "Obviously it's an amazing experience to be out here and participate in such a big venue against him.
"I just want to go out there and really embrace the whole atmosphere. It's always a pleasure when I play against him even though the last three times I lost. You put that aside and he's really a great guy, on and off the court."
ESPN3 will present live the 2015 BNP Paribas Showdown from Madison Square Garden in New York at 7:30 p.m. ET. WTA Hall of Famers Monica Seles and Gabriela Sabatini kick off proceedings, before Federer and Dimitrov provide the nightcap.
National associations will join some of the world’s leading tennis stars in celebrating the third World Tennis Day today. World Tennis Day aims to promote tennis and increase participation among players around the globe. Last year, 90 nations supported World Tennis Day, with 79 countries undertaking specific events.
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) announced it will be hosting thousands of youth tennis events throughout the month of March. These events, part of USTA’s commitment to improve the health and wellness of children by getting active through tennis, serve as an opportunity to encourage families and children of all ages and skill levels to try the sport at local tennis facilities.
