Sports at a glance

NEW YORK -- Roger Federer is actually nervous about his tennis. The man who won five straight U.S. Open championships during the height of his dominance of the sport is set to play again in Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight for the first time since 2019.

And he's not quite sure how the game that perhaps nobody ever made look more elegant will appear now. It's only one set of singles in an exhibition against Andy Roddick and one set of doubles with John McEnroe against Roddick and Andre Agassi.

The winner of 20 Grand Slam singles titles should be fine for those, but he isn't interested in a true tennis comeback.

PGA donates generous gift

ATLANTA -- Former PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem and his wife are donating $13 million to PGA Tour Charities as the tour reshapes its charity strategy amid so much attention on profit and earnings.

The contribution is seen as a catalyst for launching a new strategy geared toward connecting charitable contributions with national campaigns.

That doesn't change how each tournament handles charitable work locally.

Lucas Glover is leading a committee of players on the program. Glover says with so much talk about money, the tour needs to return emphasis on a charity machine that has generated $4.4 billion over the years.

The PGA Tour long has been the charitable leader in sports with a mechanism that has enabled its tournaments to generate more than $4.4 billion in donations.
