President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the US Open men’s singles final on Sunday, marking his first appearance at this Grand Slam tennis event since 2015. This visit comes after Trump was re-elected for a second term in 2024 and has not attended the New York City tournament since he assumed office in 2016.
Prior to 2016, Trump had frequented Flushing Meadows, with his last visit occurring a decade ago alongside his wife, Melania. A White House official confirmed his attendance to the BBC. During his previous visit in 2015, Trump was welcomed by six-time major champion John McEnroe while watching from a hospitality area.
At 79 years old, Trump was born in Queens, New York, where the Grand Slam tournament takes place. In a notable development for the final, there will be no American players competing this year. The match is set to start at 14:00 (19:00 BST) on Sunday. The finalists will be determined following Friday’s semifinal matches, which feature Serbia’s Novak Djokovic against Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, and Italy’s Jannik Sinner facing off with Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime.
