Carlos Alcaraz Makes Feelings Clear on Donald Trump’s Return to US Open Final

Are we in for another Carlos Alcaraz-Jannik Sinner slam showdown? It does seem to be on the cards now after the Spaniard toppled 24-time slam king Novak Djokovic on Friday at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. With Alcaraz being in his second US Open final, all eyes are now fixed on whether Jannik Sinner can make it to the summit clash as well. And adding to that buzz of yet another blockbuster Alcaraz-Sinner final is the news that President Donald Trump will be attending it,

During the post-match press conference, when he was asked to share his reaction on Trump’s confirmation for the final day of the hard court slam, the Spaniard said, “I think it is a privilege for the tournament having the president from every country to support the tournament, to support tennis, to support the match.”

Reacting to the massive occasion he added, “For me playing in front of him, to be honest I will try not to be focused and I will try not to think about it. I don’t want myself to be nervous because of it. But it’s great for tennis to have the president into the final.”
