Trump to Attend US Open Men's Final as USTA Tightens Broadcast and Security Rules

A sitting president has not appeared at the tournament since Bill Clinton in 2000.

Overview

  • The White House confirmed President Donald Trump will attend Sunday’s men’s singles final in New York, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET.
  • Trump is expected to watch from Rolex’s private suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium as a sponsor guest, according to Associated Press reporting.
  • The USTA told broadcasters to refrain from showing disruptions or negative reactions to the president’s presence and said he will be shown during the national anthem on the world feed and stadium screens.
  • Organizers warned of enhanced security, including TSA-style screening to enter Arthur Ashe, possible frozen zones inside the venue, and delays moving through public areas.
  • Rolex’s invitation was reported by journalist Ben Rothenberg, with some outlets noting a possible connection to recent U.S. tariffs on Swiss imports; that linkage remains unconfirmed.
