President Donald Trump attended the U.S. Open on Sunday, drawing boos from the crowd. His presence delayed the men's final due to heightened security, causing long lines for many people who didn't make it in before play started. Trump briefly appeared before the event, receiving mixed reactions from the then-mostly empty Arthur Ashe Stadium. During the National Anthem, he was shown on the big screen, which increased the volume of boos. Boos got more intense later in the match. Organizers delayed the start to allow fans to pass through security. Trump attended as a guest of Rolex, despite imposing tariffs on Swiss products.

Forecasters say Hurricane Kiko is weakening as it continues on a track forecast to take the storm north of the Hawaiian islands in coming days. Kiko was located Sunday about 635 miles east of Hilo on the Big Island in the Pacific. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Kiko has top sustained winds of 110 mph, down from about 120 mph on Saturday. The center says the hurricane should pass north of the islands sometime Tuesday and Wednesday. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect, but forecasters say Kiko is starting to churn up dangerous surf, particularly along eastern-facing Hawaiian beaches.
