The New York Knicks potentially winning their first NBA championship in 53 years isn’t the only thing that New Yorkers have to look forward to this summer.

That’s because someone who’s won 20 championships, namely 20 tennis Grand Slam singles titles, is making his return to the tennis court in Queens, N.Y. Roger Federer, who is set to be enshrined into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in August, will play an exhibition match beforehand at the 2026 U.S. Open.
