Roger Federer is set to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF) during a ceremony scheduled for August 2026 in Newport, Rhode Island, the organisation announced on Wednesday.

Federer captured 20 Grand Slam titles—becoming the first man to reach that milestone—and amassed 103 career trophies before retiring in 2022. He also held the world No. 1 ranking for a record 237 consecutive weeks from 2004 to 2008.

“It’s a tremendous honour to be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame and to stand alongside so many of the game’s great champions. To be recognised in this way by the sport and by my peers is deeply humbling,” Federer said in a statement released by the ITHF.

Over the course of his career, the Swiss star spent a total of 310 weeks at world No. 1 and engaged in historic rivalries with Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the other members of men’s tennis’s celebrated “Big Three.”

“Throughout my career, I’ve always valued the history of tennis and the example set by those who came before me. I look forward to visiting Newport next August to celebrate this special moment with the tennis community,” added the 44-year-old.
