The final of the 2025 US Open in men’s singles, featuring Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, will take place on September 8 at 1:00 AM Vietnam time. The match is expected to draw attention not only from tennis fans but also from political observers, as current U.S. President Donald Trump will become the first sitting president in 25 years to attend the tournament final in person, reports Baltimore Chronicle.
The last time a sitting U.S. president attended the US Open final was in 2000, when Bill Clinton was present in New York.
Trump’s appearance at the court marks his return to one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, which traditionally attracts international attention. The fact that the event will take place in New York, the president’s hometown, adds further significance.
The final showdown between Alcaraz and Sinner is already considered one of the most anticipated events of the year. The two players have faced each other in intense matches before, and their upcoming encounter promises to be a spectacular display. The presence of the U.S. president is expected to heighten interest in the tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz himself noted that he does not intend to let the political factor distract him from the game. “I don’t want to stress about it. But I think the president coming to watch a tennis match is good for the sport,” the Spaniard said.
