Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump was far from the only famous face at Sunday’s US Open men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Trump returned to his birthplace of Queens upon the invitation of Swiss watchmaker Rolex, a tournament sponsor with its own suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium. He was accompanied by Attorney General Pam Bondi, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and his granddaughter Arabella Kushner.

While Trump’s appearance at the final sparked mixed reactions among fans—many faced delays entering due to heightened security at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center—the other celebrities in attendance appeared unfazed by the President’s presence in the Rolex suite.

Critics of Trump, such as Bruce Springsteen and Stephen Colbert, were visibly enjoying themselves at center court alongside Spike Lee. Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan and her husband Bader Shammas were seen sharing affectionate moments in their seats.

In June, Springsteen told fans on his European Land of Hope & Dreams Tour that Trump was a ‘moron’ whom he blamed for an ‘American tragedy.’ 

Trump responded by referring to the legendary musician as the ‘Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen.’

Another noteworthy Trump critic present was Golden State Warriors icon Stephen Curry, joined by his wife Ayesha. Curry and his team were notably disinvited from the White House after their 2017 NBA championship, following Trump’s displeasure at their hesitation to accept his invitation.

The event also drew numerous NBA stars, including New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, Philadelphia 76ers standout Paul George, and Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma.

And speaking of the Knicks, New York superfan Ben Stiller attended Sunday’s match with his wife and former Hey Dude star, Christine Taylor.  

Among the other high-profile celebrity sports enthusiasts in attendance were Michael J. Fox, Jerry Seinfeld, Al Roker, Jon Hamm, and long-time US Open regulars Anna Wintour, Martha Stewart, and Danny DeVito.

Trump received both boos and cheers when he was seen on the jumbotron, although television audiences may not have heard any reactions.

On the eve of the final, the USTA sent out an email to broadcasters, such as ESPN and Sky Sports, saying: ‘With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony.

‘We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity.’

Spanish star Alcaraz has already spoken about Trump’s plans to watch the final.

‘It is a privilege for the tournaments having the president from every country… to support the tournament, to support tennis, and to support the match,’ he initially told reporters when quizzed about Trump after his win over Novak Djokovic.

‘For me, playing in front of him… to be honest, I will try not to think about it. I don’t want… to be nervous because of it.

‘But I think… it’s great for tennis to have the president into the final.’
