President Donald Trump was booed by some of the fans who were lucky enough to make it inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on time for the US Open men’s singles final. The championship match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz was postponed by 30 minutes due to enhanced security for those entering the main showcourt, as a result of the president’s visit.
The 79-year-old stepped out into the Rolex suite before the players took to the court and waved to a mostly-empty crowd, receiving a mix of boos and cheers. President Trump was then shown on screen during a pre-walk on ceremony while the national anthem was being sung, and received a similar reception.
