Overview
- US Open organisers confirmed on Monday that Federer will appear at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, August 25, for a Fan Week exhibition.
- Federer will play a one-set singles match against Andy Roddick, using a deciding point if needed, then team with John McEnroe in doubles against Roddick and Andre Agassi.
- The event is explicitly a special, non-ranking exhibition that will not affect tournament draws or player rankings.
- Federer said he was looking forward to returning to New York; this marks his first appearance at the US Open site since 2019 and comes four years after his 2022 retirement.
- The match pairs four former Grand Slam champions — Federer, Roddick, McEnroe and Agassi — and is designed to drive fan engagement, ticket demand and broadcast interest ahead of the US Open main draw starting August 30.
