Trump to Attend U.S. Open Men’s Final as Special Guest
President Donald Trump will attend the men’s singles final at the U.S. Open on September 10, 2023, as a special guest, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Tennis Association. Trump’s appearance marks his first visit to the Grand Slam tournament in New York since 2015, a time when he frequently attended the event prior to his political career.
Trump plans to watch the final from a suite, a setting that allows him a private view of the match. His presence at this prestigious sporting event comes on the heels of several high-profile outings, including the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Daytona 500 in Florida, UFC fights in Miami and Newark, and the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia, as well as the FIFA Club World Cup final in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Previous Involvement with the U.S. Open
Historically, the Trump Organization had a suite at the U.S. Open, located adjacent to the television broadcasting booth in Arthur Ashe Stadium. However, this arrangement was suspended in 2017, during Trump’s first year in office. His return to the U.S. Open after several years reflects a renewed interest in engaging with sports, a venue where he previously enjoyed a visible presence.
As attention turns to the final, the U.S. Open is expected to attract a significant audience, both in attendance and through broadcasts worldwide. Trump’s attendance may further amplify interest in the event, drawing in fans from across the globe eager to witness the culmination of this year’s tournament.
The U.S. Open remains one of the most prestigious tennis events in the world, and the men’s singles final is poised to deliver an exciting conclusion to the tournament. With Trump’s attendance, the event promises not only athletic excellence but also a touch of celebrity flair, as the intersection of sports and politics continues to captivate public interest.
