President Donald Trump plans to take part in the US Open singles on Sunday as a guest Rolex, weeks after his administration deposited a steep 39% tariff on Swiss products. Rolex, based in Geneva, expanded the invitation, although Trump’s policy was directly affecting her home country.
The American Tennis Association (Usta) ordered broadcasts not to send the reactions of the crowd – positive or negative – to Trump’s presence.
“Given the broadcast coverage, the president will be displayed on the world feed and the ASHE court during the opening ceremony of the anthem,” said E -mail Usta, according to Bounces.
“We ask all operators of operation to refrain from demonstrating any disturbances or responses in response to presidential participation in any capacity, including the coverage of ENG (electronic message collection).”
The spokesperson Usta added: “We regularly ask our broadcast operators to refrain from demonstrating disruption outside the court.”
Security is pushing back the start of the match
The final of the men between the defending champion Jannik Sinner, 24 years, and the world no. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, 22, was delayed by half an hour due to further security screening. Trump will watch the match from Rolex’s Suite at the Arthur Ash stadium in Queens, New York.
Alcaraz, he asked in advance of the President’s participation, said, “I will try not to focus and try not to think about it. I don’t want me to be nervous about it.”
He added that every US president was watching the finals was “great for tennis”.
Echoes of 2015 Booing Incident
Trump was last attended by the US Open in 2015, when it was loudly triggered during the quarterfinals of the month after the start of his first presidential campaign.
This time, although no extensive street protests were visible near the stadium, some fans chose silent wardrobes to avoid confusion with Trump’s political brand.
Shift
Trump’s second term was marked by frequent performances at large sports events rather than a assembly in the style of a campaign that defined its political rise.
Since returning to the White House in January, Super Bowl took part in New Orleans, Dayton 500, UFC fighting in Miami and Newark, the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia and the FIFA Club Final World Cup in New Jersey.
On the air force on the way to New York Trump, he told reporters that the plane would fly over the ASHE stadium, but refused to mention other notes.
Celebrities in participation
The crowd represented numerous celebrities, including Pink, Bruce Springsteen, Shonda Rhimes, Michael J. Fox, Sting, Shaggy, Ben Stiller and Courteney Cox. Many of them publicly supported the then President Kamaly Harris during the 2024 election campaign.
Trump will be accompanied by higher White House officials, such as print secretary Karoline Leavitt, General Prosecutor Pam Bondi, Finance Minister Scott Bessnt and Staff head Susie Wiles.
