Overview

• The men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz started about 30 minutes late after enhanced screening created long entry lines, leaving many fans outside when play began.
• Trump drew a combination of boos and cheers when shown on the jumbotron, and portions of the reaction aired despite the USTA’s guidance to limit such coverage.
• The president watched from a Rolex suite after accepting the company’s invitation, a notable optic following his administration’s roughly 39% tariff on Swiss goods.
• It was Trump’s first U.S. Open visit since 2015 and the first by a sitting president since Bill Clinton attended in 2000.
• The appearance continues a year of high-visibility sports stops for Trump, including the Super Bowl, Daytona 500, UFC events, NCAA wrestling, and the FIFA Club World Cup final.
