Why is Roger Federer returning to the US Open?

Federer has not competed professionally since his retirement in 2022, but the former world No. 1 remains one of the most celebrated figures in tennis.

His return to Arthur Ashe Stadium carries particular significance. Federer won five consecutive US Open titles between 2004 and 2008 and last played at Flushing Meadows in 2019.
