Trump to Attend US Open Men’s Final, First Presidential Visit Since 2000

His visit has prompted enhanced security measures at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Overview

  • The White House and USTA say President Trump will attend Sunday’s men’s final as a client guest watching from a suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
  • The USTA warned credentialed media of TSA-style screening, longer wait times, and temporary restricted areas throughout the venue on match day.
  • An internal USTA email asked broadcasters to avoid showing disruptions or crowd reactions to the president’s presence, according to multiple reports.
  • Independent reporter Ben Rothenberg said Trump was invited by Rolex to its suite, a hosting detail that has not been confirmed by the company.
  • Carlos Alcaraz, who faces Jannik Sinner for the title, called the presidential presence “great for tennis” and said he intends to stay focused on the match.
