During Sunday’s men’s singles final, the US Open organizers have instructed broadcasters to avoid bringing up any negative comments about President Donald Trump.
Trump, 79, will make his first Grand Slam tennis appearance in New York since 2015.
Before Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz will face him in the anthem ceremony.
A tournament sponsor has invited Trump to attend the game, and he will stay in a corporate suite to watch the event.
Prior to Sunday’s final, which will begin at 14:00 local time (19:00 BST), extra security measures were put in place.
The United States Tennis Association (USTA) issued a memo asking broadcasters to refrain from disclosing any disruptions to the president’s attendance at any time.
Trump, who won a second term in office in 2024, has not attended the New York City tournament since taking office in 2016.
Before his wife Melania and him made his first appearance in Flushing Meadows ten years ago, he had previously been there on several occasions.
As he watched from a hospitality area in 2015, John McEnroe, an American seven-time major champion, welcomed Trump.
