Overview
- The US Open announced on Monday that Roger Federer will play a one-night exhibition at Arthur Ashe Stadium on August 25 during the tournament’s Fan Week.
- Organizers confirmed Federer will share the court with Andre Agassi, John McEnroe and Andy Roddick in the celebratory event.
- The tournament said tickets will go on sale this Thursday, a timing that signals strong commercial demand for seats and related Fan Week programming.
- Federer issued a statement saying the US Open has been one of his most special tournaments; he is a 20-time Grand Slam champion who won the US Open five straight times from 2004 to 2008 and last played the event in 2019.
- The exhibition is timed just before Federer’s formal induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in late August, a pairing that organizers expect will deepen fan interest and boost related events at Flushing Meadows.
