Donald Trump was given a mixed reception as he made his first visit to the US Open in a decade on Sunday.

Heightened security around the president’s attendance led to lengthy queues which caused a delay to the start of play of the men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York.

Footage from the event shows the crowd responding with cheers and boos as Trump, who was at the match with his son-in-law Jared Kushner, granddaughter Arabella, and a delegation of officials including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and press secretary Karoline Levitt, was broadcast on the big screen.
