Donald Trump Tennis As the tennis world braces for another historic clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the US Open men’s final, an unusual spectator has captured a share of the spotlight. After a decade-long absence, Donald Trump will be in attendance, and according to Alcaraz, his return is “great for tennis.”
The 22-year-old Spaniard, who advanced to the final by defeating Novak Djokovic in a straight-sets semifinal, was asked in his post-match press conference about the news that the US President would be a guest in a corporate suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Alcaraz explained, adding that his focus would remain on the game. “But on Sunday, my job is to play my best tennis and not let anything else get in the way.”
