Nine years removed from their epic Wimbledon final, Andy Roddick and Roger Federer had a reunion on Monday at the "Roger Comes to Austin" event.

The evening featured a conversation between the longtime rivals, moderated by Mary Carillo, and benefitted the Andy Roddick Foundation, which helps provide after-school programs for children in Central Texas.

Despite having been on opposite sides of the net for four Grand Slam finals, Roddick and Federer get along more than amicably, as demonstrated in their text messages:
