Rado — the Official Timekeeper of the BNP Paribas Showdown
With the Sochi Olympics entering their second week, winter sports are on the forefront of media attention, but on Monday, March 3rd 2014, the stage is set for the tennis showdown to end all showdowns as tennis superstar and Rado brand ambassador Andy Murray faces Novak Djokovic at legendary New York City venue, the Madison Square Garden.
On World Tennis Day, for the first time, Rado is the Official Timekeeper of the BNP Paribas Showdown. The official timing systems will be represented by corner clocks in the shape of the Rado HyperChrome on court.
Also on the bill at Madison Square Garden is a doubles match that tennis fans will be desperate to get a glimpse of, as the best doubles partnership ever – the Bryan brothers – take on the legendary McEnroe brothers.
