Roger Federer Joins John McEnroe in Cheeky Racket-Toss Moment at US Open

If someone had asked tennis fans to build their dream doubles lineup, Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, John McEnroe and Andre Agassi would probably have made the shortlist. The four former World No. 1s came together for a doubles match, which was under the headline program of “Roger Federer: An Icon Returns to New York”, which celebrated the on-court return of the Swiss maestro in New York, having last played in 2019.

At 67, McEnroe was the oldest of the four on the court, but that did not stop the American from competing. Even though it was all fun on court between the four, McEnroe cheekily let everyone know he meant business, as he launched a 101 mph second serve in the first game of the match, which, comically enough, he missed, after which he playfully tossed his racket, staying on-brand with his on-court demeanor from his playing days.

It was not only his serve, but the 67-year-old was also still able to return serves of over 100 mph from the likes of Roddick and Agassi, while being at his usual best with his volleys at the net. McEnroe did not hide the fact that partnering with Federer was almost comparable to him in a Slam final.
