Honoring Legends: Roger & Serena will Review Unparalleled Careers
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7, 2022 – Tennis Channel will review the careers and impact of all-time greats Serena Williams and Roger Federer Saturday, Dec. 10, at 8 p.m. ET. Honoring Legends: Roger & Serena will look at the many achievements of the unparalleled stars, who put away their racquets this year after decades of rewriting the sport’s record books.
The hourlong conversation will be held by people who know Williams and Federer well. Caroline Wozniacki (@CaroWozniacki) is a former Australian Open champion, was one of Williams’ fiercest competitors on the court and remains one of her best friends.

Former player and coach Paul Annacone (@paul_annacone) will bring a unique perspective to the discussion.
