Roger Federer and Serena Williams shared a tennis court at 2019.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams are two of the most successful athletes in history. Roger has 20 Grand Slam titles under his belt, while Serena has 23.

They’ve both been ranked No. 1 in the world and have won Wimbledon multiple times. Roger is considered to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time, and Serena is widely regarded as the best female player ever.

The two legends have only played each other once before, back in 2019. Roger won that match 6-4, 6-4.

It would be fitting for the two players to go head-to-head one last time at the US Open. They’re both scheduled to compete in the tournament, and fans are already calling for them to be placed on the same day.

“It’s Roger Federer and Serena Williams on the same court at the US Open,” said Williams. “I don’t think anyone would have predicted that.”

Federer echoed those sentiments, adding: “It’s always special to play Serena. She’s an incredible player and somebody I really look up to.”

The match itself was a close affair, with Federer ultimately winning 7-5, 6-4. But it was the moments before and after the match that generated the most headlines.

As they walked off the court, Federer and Williams shared an emotional embrace, with the Swiss star telling his American rival: “You’re a great champion.”

It was a moment that epitomised the mutual respect between two of tennis’ biggest stars. Roger Federer and Serena Williams may be rivals on the court, but off it, they’re friends and allies.

The US Open will be the last tournament that either player competes in and fans are already calling for them to be scheduled on the same day so they can go head-to-head one final time.

If they do end up playing each other, it’s sure to be an epic match. Roger and Serena are two of the most competitive athletes in the world, and they both have a lot to prove. Roger wants to show that he can still beat Serena, while Serena will be looking to get revenge for her loss.
