United States President Donald Trump grabbed the limelight during the US Open men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday. Trump was cheered by some and booed by others<\/a> as he made his way to Arthur Ashe Stadium, which was graced by a sea of celebrities who had turned up to watch the poster boys of modern-era tennis battle it out on centre court.<\/p>\n

Trump remained at Ashe throughout the two-hour-and-42-minute contest, and his reaction at the end of the match went viral on social media. His sombre expressions contrasted sharply with the vibe of one of the world’s biggest tennis courts after Alcaraz produced a magical display<\/a> to outclass the reigning champion in four sets – 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. While the entire crowd roared in applause for Alcaraz, President Trump appeared unimpressed, as seen in a viral clip circulating online.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While fans on social media spotted the odd one out among the crowd, meme-makers had a field day, speculating why Trump appeared unhappy after Alcaraz won his second US Open men’s singles title.<\/p>\n

A few fans wondered if Trump had bet big on Sinner to win the season’s final Grand Slam title, while others even linked the reaction to the US President’s political views, drawing light-hearted conclusions from the expressions (or lack thereof).<\/p>\n

“Trump’s reaction to Alcaraz is hilarious,” a user wrote, sharing the viral clip on X.<\/p>\n

“Someone tell Trump that Alcaraz isn’t Mexican,” wrote another fan.<\/p>\n

“Trump definitely had money on Sinner cause why else ain’t you celebrating Alcaraz win,” another wrote.<\/p>\n

“The Alcaraz vs. Sinner US Open Championship match today is an instant classic. I was neutral on who I wanted to win, but look at Trump’s facial expression after Alcaraz won! Now I’m so glad Alcaraz won the championship,” was another reaction to the viral clip.<\/p>\n

Along with Trump, Pep Guardiola, the manager of Premier League side Manchester City, and NBA great Steph Curry were among the many celebrities in attendance at Arthur Ashe Stadium for one of the most anticipated tennis matches in recent history.<\/p>\n

Trump, a regular golfer on weekends in the Washington area or at his properties in New Jersey and Florida, has attended multiple sports events as President since returning to the White House in January. He went to the Super Bowl in February, receiving cheers and boos from the crowd, and has also attended Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts.<\/p>\n

An ABC television broadcast showed Trump stepping out of a box seat after arriving to wave to the still-sparse crowd, but it did not include crowd audio, according to Reuters. The USTA had asked broadcasters to remove any reaction to Trump, multiple reports in the US media said.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Alcaraz and Sinner put on a show for the crowd, with the Spaniard dominating his arch-rival in a rare one-sided battle between the two gladiators. Alcaraz served brilliantly and ensured he recovered from a blip in the second set to get the job done in under three hours.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz reclaimed the World No. 1 title after two years and became one of the few players to have won more than one Grand Slam title across all three surfaces.<\/p>\n
