President Donald Trump’s appearance at the men’s finals of the U.S. Open on Sunday created both logistical headaches and viral intrigue at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. The match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner drew thousands of fans, many of whom faced lengthy delays at additional security checkpoints set up for the president’s arrival.
Ahead of Trump’s attendance, the U.S. Tennis Association reportedly emailed broadcasters instructing them not to air “disruptions or reactions” connected to his presence, a move critics described as accommodating the president’s stage-managed appearances.
