In recent years this is an event that is known for top singles players participating in the doubles draw. Rafael Nadal owns as many titles at Indian Wells as the Bryan Brothers. Last year Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka were semifinalists, and in 2011, Federer faced off with Nadal on the doubles court in a memorable semifinal that saw Federer and Wawrinka defeat Nadal and Marc Lopez, 7-5, 6-3, before falling to Alexandr Dolgopolov and Xavier Malisse in the final.

Nadal, who has won both his titles with Marc Lopez at his side at Indian Wells, will pair up with Pablo Carreno Busta this year. Federer, will pair up with Michael Lammer and in a surprise pairing, Andy Murray has chosen Thanasi Kokkinakis as his partner.

Other exciting pairings include Juan Martin del Potro and Marin Cilic, Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil (last year’s Wimbledon champions, known as Pospisock), Grigor Dimitrov and Mardy Fish and John Isner and Sam Querrey (otherwise known as Quisner).

And let us not forget the No. 1 doubles team in the land, Mike and Bob Bryan, who have managed to worm their way through star-studded draws to win the title in each of the last two years.

But as incredible and legendary as the Bryan Brothers are, the presence of world-class singles players are what makes the Indian Wells doubles draw feel almost as important as the Olympics or a major. There may not be as much on the line, but the starpower and the energy coming off the fans that crowd into smaller stadiums gives it “playoff” feel.

While some doubles teams might just be involved for the novelty or getting a few extra matches, it’s nice to see the Bryans, arguably the most entertaining doubles team to watch based on their choreography, passion and scissor hands (not to mention their death defying chest bumps), taking a stand against the top-ranked singles guys. In the past it's been said that the Bryans aren't as legit as the greatest doubles teams of the past because not as many singles players enter doubles draws like they used to.

But at Indian Wells each year, like it is at the Olympics, it's proving time for Mike and Bob. They take their craft seriously, and while their fans might be overwhelmed by the loud cheers of those of Federer and Nadal's fans, they seem to relish the chance to lock horns with the big names.

Doubles is just another reason, and for some one of the biggest reason, that the BNP Paribas Open is widely considered to be the best all-around spectating experience in all of tennis. Whether you agree or not, it's hard not to agree with doubles draw stacked with singles stars like this.
