Federer shines on US Open return, wins exhibition doubles with McEnroe

Roger Federer marked his return to the US Open with a perfect showing in exhibition matches, delighting fans in New York. After securing a victory in his singles encounter against Andy Roddick, Federer capped off the evening by partnering with tennis legend John McEnroe.

Together, Federer and McEnroe faced off against another star-studded pair, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick, in a doubles exhibition match. The tightly contested match, played as a single set, concluded with a 7-5 victory for Federer and McEnroe, providing a thrilling spectacle on the main court at Flushing Meadows.

This event was particularly significant as it represented Federer's first time playing in New York since his professional retirement from the sport. His earlier singles win against Roddick, with a score of 6-3, further cemented his role as the evening's protagonist, just ahead of the tournament's official start.

The exhibition featured four former champions and world number ones, offering the New York crowd a memorable display of skill and sportsmanship. The close nature of the doubles match, decided by fine margins, underscored the high level of play, even in a non-competitive setting.
