The start of Monday\u2019s US Open final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz was delayed by 30 minutes, organizers said, due to tighter security measures enforced with President Donald Trump in attendance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a result of the security measures in place, and to ensure that fans have additional time to get to their seats, we have pushed the start time of today\u2019s match to 2:30 pm ET,\u201d the USTA said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s presence at the Grand Slam tennis tournament is the latest in a list of high-profile sports outings since beginning his new term.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It will mark Trump\u2019s first appearance at Flushing Meadows since 2015 — when the then-presidential candidate and his wife Melania were booed on arrival by the crowd.<\/p>\n

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) advised broadcasters not to televise any boos or cheers the president might receive from the crowd on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President\u2019s attendance in any capacity, including ENG (Electronic News Gathering) coverage,\u201d the USTA wrote.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz previously showed his gratitude towards the president for supporting the tournament. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a privilege for the tournaments having the president from every country,\u201d he told reporters, \u201cto support the tournament, to support tennis, and to support the match.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018For me, playing in front of him\u2026 to be honest, I will try not to think about it. I don\u2019t want\u2026 to be nervous because of it,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s great for tennis to have the president into the final.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The start of Monday\u2019s US Open final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz was delayed by 30 minutes,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127930,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":{"0":"post-127929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
