President Donald Trump's appearance at the US Open 2025 men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was marred by chaos, as fans booed the 79-year-old at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, thus overshadowing the event. The fans' displeasure stemmed after his presence caused an unprecedented delay in the pulsating contest.
Trump's unannounced appearance at the US Open 2025 final forced the contest to be delayed approximately by 50 minutes due to security measures in place to accommodate him. As a result, the added security checks left thousands of fans far away from the arena even when the play had already begun at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Amidst all these, former British tennis player Laura Robson might have jumped into hot water after not following a rule sent out to all media outlets regarding coverage of Trump during the high-octane clash. Based on a Dailymail report, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) had sent clear instructions about trump coverage to media attending the final.
“We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president’s attendance in any capacity,” a portion of the mail read, according to the report. Robson, who was working as a pundit with Sky Sports, went against the USTA's directive and referenced the unfriendly crowd reaction towards Trump.
“They've just shown Trump on the big screen, lots of boos,” she said. The organisers are yet to comment on Robson's act.
