Roger Federer returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium for a 2026 US Open exhibition, where he defeated longtime rival Andy Roddick 6-3 in a one-set singles match.
The 45-year-old legend, who won five consecutive US Open titles between 2004 and 2008, was honored with a drone tribute celebrating his 20 career Grand Slam victories.
Federer, who retired in 2022, is scheduled to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island, this Saturday before returning to the US Open in a broadcasting role.
