Federer returns for US Open exhibition

Roger Federer will return to Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, August 25, for a special exhibition event during the US Open's Fan Week, marking his first appearance at the tournament since his retirement in 2022. The 20-time Grand Slam champion will headline a night of legends, facing former rival Andy Roddick in a one-set singles match before teaming with John McEnroe for doubles against Roddick and Andre Agassi. The event, titled "US Open Roger Federer An Icon Returns to NY," is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET. It provides Federer with a formal farewell to the New York crowd, a moment he missed after his last competitive match at the tournament was a quarterfinal loss in 2019.
