- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Roger Federer will return to Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night for an exhibition match. The event includes one set of singles against Andy Roddick and one set of doubles with John McEnroe against Roddick and Andre Agassi. Federer is visiting New York on his way to Newport, Rhode Island, where he will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday.
During a news conference, Federer explicitly ruled out a professional return to major tournaments. He stated that his knee can no longer handle the demands of professional play. This appearance serves as a sendoff for the 20 time Grand Slam champion, who has not played at the US Open since 2019. His final professional match at the tournament occurred in the 2019 quarterfinals, followed by a series of knee surgeries in 2020 and 2021.
