US Open welcomes Trump as special guest: Enhanced security measures anticipated
The US Open is experiencing heightened security measures this year, with the Secret Service taking charge of enhancing entrance controls and checkpoints around the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This decision comes ahead of US President Donald Trump's visit to New York.
The Arthur Ashe Stadium, the venue for the men's final, is not exempt from these measures. Visitors and media representatives are being subjected to more thorough checks, and security personnel are inspecting bags more meticulously.
The men's final between Italian Jannik Sinner and Spanish Carlos Alcaraz has been moved back by half an hour, now scheduled to start at 20.30 CEST (14.30 local time), instead of the initial 20.00 CEST (14.00 local time). The delay is due to the enhanced security measures, giving spectators additional time to take their seats.
It's important to note that the checks at the Arthur Ashe Stadium are not explicitly stated to be more significant than at other locations within the tennis center.
The Secret Service's presence is not explicitly mentioned in the context of the Arthur Ashe Stadium checks, but a contingent of the Secret Service has been deployed around the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
Trump's visit to New York marks another high-profile sporting event he has attended since his election victory in November last year. The Club World Cup in football near New York is one of the sporting events Trump has visited.
Media representatives at the Arthur Ashe Stadium are also being checked by security personnel, ensuring the safety and security of all attendees during this prestigious event. The US Open, with its enhanced security measures, is ready to host a memorable final.
