Who’s in attendance for the US Open men’s final? From Trump’s MAGA entourage to Lindsay Lohan and Courteney Cox

The U.S. Open men’s final between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy and Spanish superstar Carlos Alcaraz drew a host of high-profile attendees.

While Sunday’s nail-biting match — which saw Alcaraz defeat Sinner — kept fans riveted, the stands were equally star-studded, with musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Pink, and Sting, actors including Courteney Cox, Lindsay Lohan, and Ben Stiller, and athletes such as NBA star Steph Curry and Formula One driver Sergio Pérez.

The most notable guest in the crowd was President Donald Trump, whose arrival with his MAGA entourage sparked a chorus of boos and cheers from the stands.

Read on for a full look at the celebrities who turned up for the final day of the two-week tournament.

The president showed up at Arthur Ashe Stadium flanked by his MAGA Cabinet and family: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, his son-in-law and former senior advisor Jared Kushner, and granddaughter Arabella Kushner.

Elsewhere in his box sat U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

The group’s attendance caused a delay in match play by 30 minutes, due to “the security measures in place,” and Trump’s appearance elicited a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd.
