Roger Federer returned to the US Open on Monday night to receive his International Tennis Hall of Fame ring, just two days after being inducted into the Hall of Fame in Newport.
The Swiss legend was inducted alongside former American player and broadcaster Mary Carillo, adding another honour to his remarkable career, during which he claimed 103 tour-level titles, including 20 major trophies. Federer spent 310 weeks at No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
Kim Clijsters, International Tennis Hall of Fame Co-President and 2017 inductee, presented Federer with his ring inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. After putting it on, Federer held up his hand to show the crowd before pumping his fist in the air as the stadium erupted in cheers.
"What a pleasure to be back in New York," Federer, a five-time US Open champion, said. "The trip, playing out here last Tuesday with the legends, getting the chance to thank everybody who has always supported me here in New York has been incredible... Getting inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, it gave me a chance to look back at all the incredible people who have helped me along the way, the game I love so much and what it gave me."
Last week, Federer also took part in an exhibition event at the hard-court major, sharing the court with fellow members of the ATP No. 1 Club. He played one set against Andy Roddick before teaming up with John McEnroe to face Roddick and Andre Agassi.
Before receiving his ring Monday night, the 20-time major champion watched American Ben Shelton defeat Tallon Griekspoor in the first round.
