After Bill Clinton, Donald Trump is all set to become the first President to watch US Open final in 25 years.

President Trump would attend Sunday’s men’s final of the U.S. Open, returning to a tournament he once frequently attended for the first time in a decade.

Before Trump, Clinton had attended the women’s final becoming the first sitting U.S. president to watch the final in the year 2000. In that year, Clinton witnessed the first women’s singles title for Venus Williams, who defeated Lindsay Davenport to succeed her younger sister Serena as US Open champion.

Interestingly, both Clinton and Trump are big tennis fans. Trump had been a regular visitor at the US Open. He was last seen in 2015 when he was booed by spectators before his 2016 presidential campaign. Thereafter, he was never seen in the US Open.
