Breaking news that has us eagerly awaiting the month of August. Roger Federer, four years after retiring, will return to play in this US Open 2026 thanks to an exhibition where he will share the court with other number ones.

The event is so significant that it has its own name: "Roger Federer: An Icon Returns to New York." This was announced by Forbes this Monday, a statement that will make many feel nostalgic and not want to miss this event for anything. The event will take place on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, taking advantage of the qualifying week of this upcoming US Open. An ideal plan for the audience to get excited about seeing the Swiss legend and other illustrious Americans who will also participate: Andy Roddick, Andre Agassi, and John McEnroe.

Roger Federer had always hinted that, if his body allowed it and after a prudent time at home, his mind would urge him to do small exhibitions at major tournaments to satisfy his competitive spirit. Since retiring in 2022, he had been seen at some tournaments, in the stands, but gradually it seems that the Swiss will start taking to the court to make everyone present happy. Do not be surprised if this upcoming event in New York sells out all tickets in just a few hours. Moreover, considering the lineup, any other scenario would be impossible to imagine.

"The US Open has always been one of the most special tournaments for me," stated the Basel native in the press release. "Many unforgettable moments of my career happened in New York, the Arthur Ashe Stadium is a place that means a lot to me. I have missed being part of that atmosphere and feeling the incredible energy that the fans bring every year. Returning to Arthur Ashe and sharing the evening with Andy, Andre, and John makes it even more meaningful. I am looking forward to celebrating those memories, seeing the fans again, and enjoying a very special night together," said the 20-time Grand Slam champion.

Roger Federer will play in the US Open four years later

Of those twenty major titles, five were won in the Big Apple, all of them consecutively. From 2004 to 2008, there was no way to take the US Open crown away, recalling those moments of absolute dominance shown previously by Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, or Pete Sampras. He would reach the final again in 2009 (against Juan Martín Del Potro) and in 2015 (against Novak Djokovic), but destiny did not allow him to taste victory at Flushing Meadows again. A love affair that was abruptly interrupted, until he last played in the New York Slam in 2019. Regarding the practical information we can provide, it is worth mentioning that early bird tickets will go on sale from this Wednesday, June 10, while general public tickets will be available starting Thursday, June 11, at 9:00 a.m.
