2003 US Open champion
Andre Agassi
two-time US Open champion
John McEnroe

According to the US Open “additional celebrity appearances and iconic surprises will delight fans throughout the evening.”

“So many unforgettable moments of my career happened in New York, and Arthur Ashe Stadium is a place that means a great deal to me,” Federer, 44, said.
“I’ve missed being part of that atmosphere and feeling the incredible energy that the fans bring every year. To return to Arthur Ashe and share the evening with Andy, Andre and John makes it even more meaningful. I’m looking forward to celebrating those memories, seeing the fans again, and enjoying a very special night together.”
In the event you can’t attend, you can see “King Roger” at the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island at his induction ceremony on Aug. 29.

We’ll see you there…honey deuce in hand.
Does the honey deuce taste good?
After a few sips, The Post’s Miska Salemann came to her conclusions about the ultra-popular beverage.
Upon first glance, you can’t help but notice the melon ball garnish is very aesthetically pleasing. Nice touch. As for the taste, the honey deuce is great if you like your vodka disguised with an absurd amount of sugar. Gets you tipsy after five minutes. Maybe has some natural electrolytes to help keep you from passing out in the heat. Not my favorite, but would drink again. 7.5/10.
