President Donald Trump is expected to attend the men’s final at the US Open on Sunday afternoon, a USTA spokesman confirmed.
Trump, a Queens, N.Y. native, hasn’t been to the Open as President. He last made an appearance in 2015 when he was heartily booed by the New York tennis fans. Trump was on hand to watch Serena Williams beat her older sister Venus in the quarterfinals.
Actor Alan Cumming Tweeted at the time, “So much fun joining in the mass collective boo at Donald Trump here at the U.S. Open!!”
No American men are left in the draw, which is set for 2 p.m. on ABC.
The semifinals are being played Friday afternoon with No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz against No. 7 and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic, followed by No. 1 and defending champ Jannik Sinner against No. 25 Felix-Auger-Aliassime.
Trump is also expected to the Tigers-Yankees game on the anniversary of 9/11.
