President Donald Trump<\/a> is set to attend the US Open<\/a> men\u2019s final on Sunday, marking a return to the tournament for the first time in 10 years.<\/p>\n

The White House has confirmed the visit and Trump will be the first sitting president to attend a US Open<\/a> final since Bill Clinton in 2000. <\/p>\n

Trump used to be a regular visitor to the US Open in New York, but has not attended the tournament since he was booed in 2015, a few months after launching his presidential campaign. <\/p>\n

In recent months, Trump has attended major sporting events such as the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Club World Cup in New Jersey<\/a>, where he bizarrely remained on stage for Chelsea\u2019s trophy lift, and the Daytona 500 in Florida. <\/p>\n

The men\u2019s final takes place on Sunday at 2pm ET. Novak Djokovic<\/a> and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> play in the first semi-final on Friday<\/a>, with the winner taking on either defending champion Jannik Sinner<\/a> or Felix Auger-Aliassime.<\/p>\n

If Sinner plays Alcaraz in the final, it will be the first time in the Open era that the same two players had met in three grand slam finals in a row in the same year. After Alcaraz defeated Sinner to win the French Open and Sinner got revenge to win Wimbledon, the World No 1 ranking will also be on the line in New York.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s association with the US Open dates back to when he was best known for being a real estate mogul in New York and he would regularly attend night matches in a private suite. However, the suite was let go from 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-118936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
