Yes, it would make sense to have the farewell ceremony on the opening Sunday rather than wait for her to lose....

Opening Sunday? The USO now starts on Sunday? Like the French?

I understand the marketing.
But Roddick and Blake are not legends. Very good players, but we are stretching the adjectives.

Leylah was supposed to play a 4 person exhibition earlier this summer which was also marketed as 'Legends'. The only one qualifying as a 'legend' at that event was Clijsters.

I grant you that Blake, one of my two or three all-time favorite players, is nowhere near a legend. He never even made a semi of a slam.
But Roddick is the only U.S. man to win a slam this century, lost in the final of four others, won 32 titles including five Masters and was year-end No. 1 in 2003. If he does not qualify as a legend (bottom end of the list), who does this century other than the Big 4 and Hewitt? Wawrinka won three slams but he has won half as many titles and only one Masters. Del Potro won one slam, 22 titles and one Masters. Safin won two slams, five Masters and 15 titles.
In other words, I have no issue with Roddick being called a legend.

Now, he will play. Will be fresh, will win.

And here I was looking forward to the US Open...now we'll instead be subjected to oodles of hot takes on what does/doesn't happen and how it's related to his egoism.

A reminder: Nadal had won the U.S. Open more times than Djokovic.

His second, most successful slam.
But by now Novak would not be able to play in Cincy. And I say he would come with too little training.
Of course, I am just grasping for straws.
