Federer's US Open Return: A Night of Legends!

Roger Federer, a titan of tennis, is set to grace the US Open courts once more for a special exhibition event on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The UTSA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, will host the legendary Swiss player for two unique matches. Federer, aged 45, will engage in a singles contest against his former rival, Andy Roddick, who is 43 years old.

Following the singles match, Federer will join forces with fellow tennis icon John McEnroe, 67. Together, they will face the formidable duo of Andre Agassi, 56, and Andy Roddick in a one-set doubles exhibition. This appearance marks Federer's first time competing at the US Open since 2019, a significant return for fans of the sport.

Federer officially retired from professional tennis on September 23, 2022, after a storied career that included 20 Grand Slam singles titles and 310 weeks ranked World No. 1. His final professional match was a doubles contest alongside Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup in London.
