While the matches were non-competitive exhibitions rather than official tournament play, the atmosphere was described as celebratory, with a significant turnout of fans present to watch the Swiss tennis icon. Sky Sports reported that the crowd was "adoring," highlighting the enduring popularity of the athlete despite his retirement from the professional tour.
