Roger Federer and Serena Williams are set to kick off 2019 in an unprecedented, once-in-a-lifetime way.
The tennis legends will meet on the court for the first time in a mixed doubles match Tuesday between Switzerland and the U.S. at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia. The hotly anticipated event is already being billed as “Federer vs. Williams,” though they’ll be joined by Swiss player Belinda Bencic and American Frances Tiafoe.

In an interview with Agence France-Presse published Monday, Federer said he was hopeful his fans from around the world would tune in “because it’s going to be one time and probably never again.”
“We’re both fierce competitors, and we always want to win,” he added. “She is one of the biggest champions in our sport ever, men and women combined, so it is great to be playing against her.”
