On Thursday, The Feds lent a hand in the Australian Open draw ceremony while somehow pulling off a hoodie and blazer combo.

The two-time defending champion will open against Denis Istomin. The world No. 99-ranked Istomin famously stunned Novak Djokovic during the 2017 Australian Open on his way to the round of 16.
