US Open 2025 Final – A Night Of Champions On And Off The Court
The US Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was delayed by 30 minutes, as extra security measures for President Donald Trump caused huge queues at the gates of Arthur Ashe Stadium. The stadium, which has a capacity of 24,000, was only about two-thirds full when Alcaraz and Sinner walked out. Thousands of fans were still outside trying to make their way past airport-style scanners.
Well, the delay might have caused anger among fans as some booed President Trump when he was showed on the screen during the national anthem and at the end of the first set.

Besides Trump, other notable figures at the US Open include Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, NBA star Stephen Curry alongside his wife, and golf player Sergio Garcia. Guardiola, who needs a break from football after a disappointing start to his Manchester City side this season, was seen supporting his compatriot Alcaraz.

However, the 22-year-old may not be so excited with Pep’s presence considering he is a Real Madrid fan and the legendary manager previously played for and coached FC Barcelona. The two clubs have been rivals for many decades and Guardiola was the mastermind of Barcelona’s golden era team that did not only redefine football but also outclassed Real Madrid.
