Overview

• President Donald Trump attended the men’s final at Arthur Ashe Stadium as a guest of Rolex, weeks after his administration imposed a 39% tariff on Swiss products.
• The U.S. Open pushed the start to 2:30 p.m. ET due to enhanced Secret Service screening, leaving long entry lines and many seats unfilled early in the match.
• On-site reports described a mix of boos and cheers when Trump appeared from his suite, with limited broadcast shots including during the national anthem.
• The USTA told broadcast partners to refrain from showing disruptions or reactions to the president’s presence, saying it regularly issues such guidance.
• No sitting U.S. president had appeared at the Open since 2000, and Trump’s visit continues his pattern of attending major sporting events in his second term.
