His last US Open appearance came in 2019, when he lost to Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the quarter-finals. The two met 24 times during their careers, including the 2006 US Open final, which Federer won.

The event could also give New York the chance to offer Federer the proper farewell he never received as a player. Federer will first play a one-set singles match against longtime rival Roddick. Federer will then team up with McEnroe in a doubles exhibition against Agassi and Roddick.
