BREAKING: NYC goes WILD as President Trump makes appearance at US Open
Trump was joined by members of his family and top officials.
New York City erupted with loud reactions on Sunday as President Donald Trump made an appearance at the US Open men’s singles final, marking his first visit to the tournament in a decade. Trump entered Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens shortly before the scheduled start of play between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
His arrival drew a mixture of mostly cheers and some boos from the packed crowd.
The heightened security presence caused delays, with long lines forming outside the stadium and the match pushed back by half an hour. The United States Tennis Association said the start time was rescheduled to allow fans to pass through checkpoints.
Trump was joined by members of his family and top officials, including son-in-law Jared Kushner, granddaughter Arabella, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
When Trump’s face appeared on the jumbotron during the national anthem, the crowd once again erupted — a mix of mostly cheers and scattered boos. Organizers had previously requested that broadcasters avoid airing reactions tied to the president’s attendance, the Independent reports.
The president was also photographed with Rolex CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour, having been invited as a guest of the Swiss watchmaker, despite his administration’s recent 39 percent tariff on Swiss goods.
