President Donald Trump will attend the US Open men’s singles final on Sunday in what will be his first visit to the Grand Slam tennis event since 2015.<\/p>\n
Trump, who was re-elected in 2024 for a second term in office, has not been to the New York City tournament since he first came to power in 2016.<\/p>\n
He had previously visited Flushing Meadows on several occasions before being joined by wife Melania on his last visit a decade ago.<\/p>\n
A White House official confirmed to the BBC that the president was expected to attend.<\/p>\n
In 2015, Trump was greeted by American six-time major champion John McEnroe as he watched from a hospitality area.<\/p>\n
Trump, 79, was born in the Queens borough of New York City where the Grand Slam tournament is held.<\/p>\n
No American players will compete in the men’s final, which starts at 14:00 (19:00 BST) on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The finalists will be decided by Friday’s last-four matches, when Serbia’s Novak Djokovic plays Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, followed by Italy’s Jannik Sinner against Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump will attend the US Open men’s singles final on Sunday in what will be his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":122035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":{"0":"post-122034","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/122035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
