Former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to attend the men’s final of the US Open this Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, New York. This marks his first appearance at the tournament in nearly a decade, having last been seen courtside in 2015 during the women’s quarterfinals.

A Familiar Face at Major Sporting Events

Trump has long been a visible figure at high-profile sports events. In recent years, he has made appearances at the Super Bowl, the Daytona 500, UFC matches, and the FIFA Club World Cup. His presence at the US Open continues this pattern, drawing attention from both fans and media alike.

The Final Showdown

The men’s final is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday, with the semifinal matchups featuring Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime. No American men remain in the tournament, as Taylor Fritz was eliminated earlier in the week.

Presidential Presence at the US Open

While Trump’s attendance is notable, it’s rare for a sitting or former president to appear at the US Open. The last sitting president to attend was Bill Clinton in 2000. Barack and Michelle Obama made an appearance on opening night in 2023, continuing the tradition of political figures engaging with the sport.

Security and Spectacle

With Trump’s visit, heightened security measures are expected around the stadium. His appearances often generate mixed reactions from the crowd, ranging from enthusiastic cheers to vocal disapproval. Regardless of public sentiment, his presence adds another layer of intrigue to an already high-stakes final.
