Here’s a complete list of the International Hall of Fame weekend of events for the Class of 2026:

People’s champion Federer learned of his impending induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame surrounded by some of tennis’ most special people.

Fittingly, Federer was surrounded by the most prominent champions from tennis’ past—and Swiss’ tennis future—to receive the news he will headline the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026.

Champions including Billie Jean King, Stefan Edberg, Martina Hingis, Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova, Kim Clijsters and many more participated in a Zoom call to welcome Federer to the Hall of Fame.

The Swiss Maestro returned to his roots—Swiss tennis headquarters—to receive the news he will lead the Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026 and be inducted alongside respected tennis journalist and former French Open mixed doubles champion Mary Carillo.

“I’m looking forward to the journey that leads to the Hall of Fame and I wanted it to be here where it all started for me so that’s why the kids are here,” Federer said. “I had the most magical career and I hope they get inspired so thank you.”

Neither two-time Grand Slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova nor 2009 US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro, who were also nominated in the Player Category, received enough votes for 2026 induction.

Watch Federer’s reaction welcomed to the Hall of Fame here:

“Congratulations being part of the Tennis Hall of Fame and you really, really deserve it,” Hall of Famer and former Federer coach Stefan Edberg told Federer. “You had an incredible career.

“Twenty Grand Slam titles tells it all.”

Martina Hingis, who partnered Federer to lead Switzerland to the 2001 Hopman Cup championship and is the player the former No. 1 cited as his “dream doubles partner”, praised the Swiss’ stylists grace and class on and off court.

“Everything always looked so perfect and so easy when you were on court,” Hall of Famer Hingis told Federer. “What many people don’t see is all the sweat that is behind it because you make it look so easy.”

Legendary Billie Jean King paid tribute to Federer’s championship character as the essential element to his glorious career.

“You meant so much to so many of us,” Billie Jean King said. “You had such guts, such focus, such intensity. I could see how much it meant to you. And just watching you I could see every aspect of your character.”
