Federer, even his practise sessions are set to be well-attended, as he is still one of the biggest draws in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Federer is a US Open legend, having won the tournament five times in a

His earliest main draw exit came in 2000, when he was just 19 years of age, where he was beaten in the third round by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/juan-carlos-ferrero\">Juan Carlos Ferrero<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As well as winning the Grand Slam on five occasions, Federer also reached a further three semi finals and three quarter finals, so he was very dominant at the New York tourament.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Roger Federer is practising with ahead of his exhibition match at the US Open Liam McMillen 24 Aug 2026 8:30 PM Having faced Nadal and Djokovic, Federer is not bad at working out how to beat the best.
