The U.S. Open men’s tennis final got off to a slow and confusing start on Sunday as thousands of fans were forced to wait outside Arthur Ashe Stadium because of enhanced security for President Trump’s visit.
The match, between Jannik Sinner of Italy and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, was supposed to start at 2 p.m. It was initially delayed 30 minutes, and then another 15, and ultimately did not start until 2:48 p.m., with hundreds of people still waiting to get through security.
