The US Open men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will commence at 2:30 PM local time (8:30 PM Italian time). The US Tennis Association announced the postponement, citing “enhanced security protocols in place” and a desire to “allow more time for fans to reach their seats.” Security was significantly tightened following the arrival of former President Donald Trump in New York.
Trump’s Air Force One aircraft landed at LaGuardia Airport at approximately 1:05 PM local time (7:05 PM Italian time). The journey from the airport to the US Open grounds is a short drive. Prior to his arrival, Trump commented on the upcoming match via his Truth Social platform, writing, “I am flying over the US Open stadium. Will be a great match!”
