Five-time U.S. Open champion Roger Federer returned to Arthur Ashe Stadium to play one last match for fun against longtime rival and friend Andy Roddick. The night billed as “An Icon Returns to New York” included the stands full to watch the 45-year-old from Switzerland face Roddick in a prime time exhibition. Federer reminisced about getting beaten in straight sets by Andre Agassi in his debut on center court in 2001 and then beating the fellow Hall of Famer in the final four years later. Roddick said he agreed to participate because it was about being there for Federer.
