That love was certainly on display at Arthur Ashe Stadium last night. The sold-out arena was full of screaming fans who donned Federer memorabilia and gave him a long standing ovation when he entered. <\/p>\n
Many attendees sported Uniqlo\u2019s<\/a> commemorative \u201cRF\u201d cap, which was a collaboration with the US Open in homage to the cap Federer and his fans wore during the Swiss legend\u2019s reign.<\/p>\n The RF hat returns. A limited edition RF hat will be available exclusively during the 2026 US Open. <\/p>\n Available on the grounds starting at 3:30pm or on https:\/\/t.co\/ozxIC0SZ4w<\/a> starting at 6:00pm ET tonight. <\/p>\n While supplies last. pic.twitter.com\/0850zwJq6n<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 US Open Tennis (@usopen) August 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n During last night\u2019s event, Federer said, \u201cIt\u2019s great to be back in New York. It\u2019s incredible. I have incredible memories of this court, the fans here, the city. In 2004, 2005 – that\u2019s when it all started here, my love for New York with the victories here.\u201d<\/p>\n Federer\u2019s US Open History<\/p>\n Roger Federer won the US Open five consecutive times, starting in 2004 and ending in 2008. He took home his first title by swiftly defeating Lleyton Hewitt in three sets (6-0, 7-6, 6-0). It was the Swiss player\u2019s fourth Grand Slam title, completing his career Grand Slam.<\/p>\n Federer\u2019s US Open title in 2005 was won by beating Andre Agassi in four sets (6-3, 2-6, 7-6, 6-1). At the next year\u2019s final, he faced and defeated Andy Roddick also in four sets (6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1).<\/p>\n In 2007, Federer won against then-20-year-old Novak Djokovic in three sets (7-6, 7-6, 6-4). The legend\u2019s last US Open title came against Andy Murray, whom he took down in three sets (6-2, 7-5, 6-2).<\/p>\n The Maestro\u2019s five titles tie him for the most men\u2019s singles titles<\/a> at the tournament during the Open Era. He shares that honor with Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors.<\/p>\n Upcoming Hall of Fame Induction<\/p>\n Part of the reason for this exciting exhibition event is due to Roger Federer being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday, August 29th. He is receiving the honor due to his many accolades in the sport, including 20 Grand Slam singles titles, 103 ATP singles titles, and 310 total weeks as World No. 1 in the ATP singles rankings.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
