Overview
- The USTA has scheduled a titled exhibition at Arthur Ashe Stadium that will feature Roger Federer but is not part of the US Open main draw.
- Organizers confirmed several tennis legends will join Federer, including Andy Roddick, John McEnroe and Andre Agassi, in a multi-player show format.
- Federer said he missed the New York atmosphere and the fans’ energy, framing the appearance as a celebratory return rather than a competitive comeback.
- The show is timed to take place shortly before Federer’s induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, linking a public celebration in New York with his formal honor.
- Federer’s return spotlights his legacy in New York—he won five straight US Open titles from 2004 to 2008 and owns 20 Grand Slam trophies—and is likely to drive strong fan and media interest at the tournament site.
