This was the impressive tribute from the Australian Open to Federer
Roger Federer has once again felt like a tennis player during his visit to the Australian Open 2026. The former Swiss tennis player played an exhibition tiebreak against Casper Ruud and a mixed doubles match alongside Ashleigh Barty, Patrick Rafter, Andre Agassi, and Lleyton Hewitt. The highlight was a beautiful tribute in a Rod Laver Arena overflowing with support.
The fireworks took center stage in a tribute fitting to what Federer's figure represents, visibly emotional. Blowing kisses to the crowd, he bid farewell to the scene, leaving behind a memorable image.
Farewell from Roger 👋
