President Trump will attend the US Open men’s final match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday afternoon.

Overview

  • A White House official confirmed President Donald Trump will be at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday for the Alcaraz–Sinner men’s final.
  • The Associated Press reports Trump will watch from Rolex’s suite as a sponsor guest, marking his first US Open visit since 2015.
  • The USTA warned of TSA-style screening, thorough bag checks, potential frozen zones and delays across the grounds on Sunday.
  • In an email to broadcasters, the USTA asked networks not to show disruptions or reactions to the president; the organization said this reflects its regular policy and plans to show him during the anthem on the world feed.
  • It will be the first visit by a sitting U.S. president to the tournament since Bill Clinton in 2000; Trump was booed by some fans in 2015, and player Carlos Alcaraz said he will try not to be distracted by the attendance.
  • Journalists reported Rolex invited Trump, with some linking the outreach to recent U.S. tariffs on Swiss imports, a connection not confirmed by Rolex or Swiss officials.
