Switzerland's Roger Federer hits a return against Australia's Alex De Minaur during their men's singles at the Australian Open in Melbourne
And of course, Ferrell had to sign off in classic Ron Burgundy fashion: "Stay classy, Melbourne!"
While not quite as impressive as title rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the Swiss maestro still coasted to a 6-3 6-4 6-3 victory.
John McEnroe was doing an on-court interview with Roger Federer when he stopped to introduce an important guest. "Give it up for Will Ferrell".
Then the questions got a little uncomfortable for the 19-time Grand Slam champion, who struggled to think of witty answers.
But somehow, for some reason, last night Ferrell trotted out onto centre court at Rod Laver Arena to snatch a microphone and playfully interview Roger Federer.
Federer won three consecutive service games to love, which kept the pressure mounting on his Slovenian opponent, and subsequently took the opening set in 26 minutes.
Federer replied with an unreturnable serve out wide and an outrageous down-the- line forehand to close the idea down. "Don't they get eaten at the end?"
"You're 36 years old, you seem ageless", Ferrell continued.

"Probably a vampire", Ferrell said.
Ferrell is no stranger to sports broadcasts, as most of you would be well aware. "It is delicious. The national food of Australia". "I don't know about you guys, but I enjoyed it". They are an wonderful crowd, but does it get annoying when they just scream: 'c'mon Roger.
Roger Federer has disclosed his probable schedule for 2018, listing all the major hard and grass court tournaments and hinting that he is likely to give the clay courts a miss again this year.
Federer: "They remind me of my own name". "When you get old you start to forget things".
Photos from the match between Roger Federer and Aljaz Bedene showed Dave and Hugh sitting several seats apart but chatting animatedly.
Former champions Maria Sharapova and Angelique Kerber turned on the style to sweep into the Australian Open second round Tuesday.
There had been a bigger question mark over whether Stan Wawrinka would survive his first match since Wimbledon but the three-time major victor overcame a tricky patch against Ricardas Berankis to win in three.
The second seed cruised to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 win in 1hr 39min and will next play German Jan-Lennard Struff.
