Then chaos and the US Open final arose.
– This is terrible for the players, says Mats Wilander in Eurosport.
It was known before that Donald Trump would see Sunday’s US Open final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on site in New York.
This is the first time in 25 years a sitting president is attending the US Open.
The president’s presence contributed to an extra large security force and with about half an hour left until the time started, masses of spectators remain outside the arena due to queues for entrances.
Were delayed
Then the organizer acted and announced that it will postpone the start.
– I don’t think the players are so happy with Donald Trump now. The worst thing is having to wait. You have already warmed up and then you are told that there will be a 30 minute delay. It is not optimal, says Swedish icon Mats Wilander in Eurosport.
When you then showed pictures of the chaos outside the arena, where thousands of fans have not yet been admitted, Wilander continued:
– This is terrible for the players.
Alcaraz vann
The match started at 20.49, Swedish time – 49 minutes after exposed start time.
Carlos Alcaraz won 3-1 in set and took his sixth Grand Slam title in his career.
