BREAKING: President Trump Receives Huge Standing Ovation At U.S. Open!

President Trump is attending the U.S. Open today and as he stepped out to wave to the crowd he was greeted with a roaring standing ovation.

Watch here:

Here is a different angle so you can see the Standing Ovation better:

Who was the first?

Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton was the first sitting U.S. president to attend the Men’s US Open Final, which he did in 2000. This marked a historic moment for the tournament, as no prior sitting president had attended before then. Donald J. Trump became the second during the 2025 final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Fox News had more details on the President’s visit to Arthur Ashe Stadium:

President Donald Trump arrived at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City for the U.S. Open men’s singles final on Sunday between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Trump was greeted with cheers and applause from the fans at the stadium. He mouthed, “Thank you.”

It’s Trump’s first visit to the Grand Slam tennis tournament since before he got into the White House. He was seen at the event in September 2015 – months after he announced his run for president the first time. And it’s a pretty good time to be a fan of the sport.

Sinner and Alcaraz have cemented themselves as the two top stars in the post-Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal eras. Novak Djokovic has proved that he could still win Grand Slam titles as well but he hasn’t won since the 2023 U.S. Open. He reached the semifinals in each Grand Slam tournament this season.

While U.S. Open broadcasters were reportedly ordered to avoid showing disruptions in the crowd over Trump’s presence, Alcaraz welcomed the possibility of seeing Trump in the crowd.
