Trump Booed, Security Delays US Open Final at Flushing Meadows

President Donald Trump attended the 2025 US Open men's final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where his presence sparked significant booing from the crowd, including during the National Anthem and when he appeared on the jumbotron. His visit resulted in enhanced security measures, causing a 30- to 37-minute delay of the match start and long lines that left many fans unable to enter on time, leading to chants of frustration. The US Tennis Association requested broadcasters not to air crowd reactions to Trump, but boos were still widely reported and televised. Trump attended as a guest of Rolex, despite previously imposing tariffs on Swiss goods, raising questions about the optics. His attendance was accompanied by senior White House officials and notable celebrities, while players and their teams faced early arrival requirements due to the heightened security. The strong negative reaction to the president at a traditionally less politically charged tennis event highlights his continuing unpopularity among many Americans.
