President Trump to Attend US Open Men's Final in New York on Sunday

President Donald Trump is set to attend the men’s singles final of the US Open on Sunday, marking his first appearance at the Grand Slam tournament in a decade. The match, scheduled for 2 p.m. ET at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City, will feature the winners of Friday’s semifinal clashes: Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Trump’s return to Flushing Meadows comes after a long hiatus from the event. His last visit in 2015 drew attention when he was booed by spectators during a match between Serena and Venus Williams, just months after launching his presidential campaign. Prior to his presidency, Trump was a regular fixture at the US Open, often watching matches from a private suite adjacent to the broadcast booth. That suite was discontinued in 2017 during his first term in office.

The White House confirmed the president’s attendance, noting that he will make a day trip to New York and return to Washington following the match. His visit is expected to prompt heightened security measures, including temporary airspace restrictions that may affect travel plans for fans flying to the venue.

Trump’s presence at major sporting events has been a consistent feature of his public schedule. He has previously attended the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, UFC fights, and other high-profile competitions. His appearance at the US Open final will be the first by a sitting president since Bill Clinton in 2000.
