It may not be for an ATP championship, but the battle for pride and ego takes center stage at Madison Square Garden in the BNP Paribas Showdown exhibition with Roger Federer taking on Grigor Dimitrov. 

The exhibition match will happen on Tuesday in the world's most famous arena, though it's not the only showcase battle. In addition to Federer vs. Dimitrov, a legends match between Monica Seles and Gabriela Sabatini is on the schedule. 

Seles vs. Sabatini is also tinged with nostalgia, as the two stars are recreating their legendary showdown from the 1990 WTA Championships that was won by Seles and gave her nine tournament victories that season. 

Here's a look at the schedule for the BNP Paribas Showdown and what to watch for when the action gets underway. 



 

Preview



There seems to be no limit to Federer's greatness. We keep expecting the bottom to drop out because he's getting old, 33, and doesn't always dominate the way he used to. Yet when you look at things right now, even though the season is still early, he's 11-1 with two titles in three tournaments. 

Federer's last win at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships included a victory over Novak Djokovic in the finals. He told Christopher Clarey of The New York Times that win resulted from playing "good, committed tennis" after a disappointing finish at the Australian Open. 

Despite all that success, as well as a renewed focus on the sport, Federer did say to reporters (h/t Reuters) on the eve of his BNP Paribas Showdown that there's one title he would prefer to win at least one more time:

"It would be my favorite choice if I had a choice right now...I'd love to win Wimbledon. I think it's possible, and I think if I win Wimbledon it's more cool for me personally, and my team and Swiss people and my fans," Federer said.
