Roger Federer is set to make a return to the US Open, according to reports. The former world number one, who retired from professional tennis in 2022, will participate in a special event at the tournament. He will be joined by other tennis legends, though specific details regarding the nature of the appearance or the identities of the other participants have not been fully disclosed by the organizers.

While the announcement has generated interest among tennis fans, the exact role Federer will play during the event remains limited to his participation alongside fellow icons of the game. The US Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments, frequently hosts exhibition matches or commemorative events featuring retired players to engage with the audience. This appearance marks a notable return for Federer to the venue where he won five consecutive titles between 2004 and 2008. Further information regarding the schedule and the specific activities planned for the legends' appearance is expected to be released by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) as the tournament approaches.
