Organizers of the US Open asked broadcasters not to air boos when Donald Trump attends the men's final between world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz.

Organizers of the US Open have directed broadcasters not to show any hostile crowd responses when President Donald Trump attends Sunday's men's final in New York.

Trump is scheduled to appear on screen during the national anthem before the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, according to an email circulated to networks. The note instructed, "We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president's attendance in any capacity."

The 79-year-old president was a regular guest at Flushing Meadows before his first term in office, but has avoided the event since 2015, when he was loudly booed. With security measures heightened for his return, organizers are seeking to avoid a repeat of such moments being televised.

The possibility of boos is not only tied to history. Trump remains deeply polarizing, with national approval ratings hovering around the low 40s and disapproval consistently higher, and recent polling shows independents in particular have turned against him, with just 29% expressing approval, down sharply from earlier this year.

Analysts note the gap between those who "strongly disapprove" of Trump and those who "strongly approve" is now at record levels, fueling expectations of visible dissent in a New York crowd.

Sinner Alcaraz Showdown

His attendance risks diverting attention from what promises to be a historic clash. Italy's Jannik Sinner, ranked world No. 1, has already won four Grand Slam titles, including this year's Australian Open and Wimbledon. Known for his composed, aggressive baseline game, the 24-year-old is the first Italian man ever to top the ATP rankings.

Facing him is Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, the 22-year-old world No. 2 and winner of five Grand Slam trophies, celebrated for his flair, creativity, and devastating drop shots. Alcaraz has captured the imagination of fans worldwide and is seen as one of the sport's most dynamic young stars.

This final marks the third consecutive Grand Slam showdown between the two rivals, cementing their place as the defining duo of a new era in men's tennis.

Despite the political backdrop, Alcaraz offered a diplomatic note: "It is a privilege for the tournaments having the president from every country just to support the tournament, to support tennis, and to support the match. For me, playing in front of him, I will try not to be focused on that, and I will try not to think about it. I don't want myself to be nervous because of it, but I think, attending the tennis match, it's great for tennis to have the president coming to the final."
