Roger Federer is coming back to play at the US Open, but not interested in coming back to pro tennis

Roger Federer is set to return to the US Open for an exhibition match at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night, marking his first appearance since 2019. The five-time U.S. Open champion expressed nervousness about playing singles after a five-year hiatus, admitting he does not know how the game will feel. Federer, 45, will compete in singles against Andy Roddick and doubles with John McEnroe against Roddick and Andre Agassi.

Despite his limited experience, he remains optimistic, stating he is happy to return to the iconic venue. Federer's presence is anticipated to draw significant attention from fans, as he previously graced the grounds from 2004 to 2008. This visit is part of his journey to the International Tennis Hall of Fame enshrinement in Newport, Rhode Island.

Federer's absence from the U.S. Open due to injuries and recent losses has not diminished his popularity, as evidenced by the large crowd gathering to see him.
