We had a great time this morning thanks to Roger Federer, Ashleigh Barty, Patrick Rafter, Andre Agassi, and Lleyton Hewitt. The five of them took part in a mixed legends match that added some color to the day before the 2026 Australian Open. A brief moment of good tennis and nostalgia that ended with the Swiss dominating the match point with a good serve and a decisive net shot. The final embrace reflects how important it is to continue to recognize these players who, even in retirement, continue to fill stadiums to this day.

A day before the start of the 2026 Australian Open, the tournament has decided not to let us agonize over the slow passage of time. Ideas to entertain the audience? An exhibition match featuring Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Patrick Rafter, and Lleyton Hewitt. With these ingredients, it was impossible for the show to go wrong. Right from the start, we can already share some hilarious moments among them, especially one where Agassi asks Federer to hit a two-handed backhand. And of course, the Swiss can only react in one way. Long live the legends!

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.

Although today there were no official matches yet, the Rod Laver Arena crowd had nothing to complain about with what the organization had prepared for them. Roger Federer, Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt, Patrick Rafter, and Ashlgieh Barty in a doubles exhibition where this group of legends delighted the spectators with every move. It was curious when Federer noticed that Novak Djokovic was in the front row watching his match. What did the Swiss do? He paused the game for a few seconds and went to shake hands with the Serbian. That's the way to go.

Roger Federer once again delighted us in his exhibition at the 2026 Australian Open against Casper Ruud. At the end of the match, his figure was compared to Lionel Messi, however, the Swiss player avoided any kind of comparison and praised the Argentine star: "It's difficult to compare us; He did amazing things in soccer, I'm a big fan of his. How he dominated and changed the game is incredible. I'm happy that he already won a World Cup and won't have that pressure in the next one, although playing in a World Cup is always a huge pressure. I will be following him in the World Cup. Switzerland also qualified, so I might go. I hope Messi achieves the ending he wants for his career," stated the 20-time Grand Slam champion in comments to ESPN.

As if the years had not passed, neither for him nor for us. That's how Roger Federer returned to the Rod Laver Arena, where he was crowned champion six times in the past, to delight the audience with an open-door training session alongside Casper Ruud. 40 minutes of delight in a packed Central, with numerous Swiss fans, and a final tiebreak that was the icing on the cake. The result? 7-2 for the guy who has been retired for a few years now, including a couple of aces and a winning backhand return that was the closest thing to hopping on the Delorean that we'll see in the coming weeks. Come back, Roger, please!

One of the main focal points of the first week of the 2026 Australian Open is, without a doubt, the presence of Roger Federer in Melbourne. The six-time champion of the tournament is in Oceanian lands and will offer an open training session with Casper Ruud; earlier, on Friday morning, he met with his good friend Rod Laver on the court that precisely bears the name of the Australian. The picture they both sign together is undeniably iconic: 25 Grand Slams (in the Open Era) in a single frame. Excess of quality.
