It must have been an unusual experience for the Hollywood A-listers who for once were not the centre of attention.
Instead, all eyes were firmly on Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic as they battled it out at the star-studded US Open final on Monday.
Among those seated in the crowd during the tense match which saw Nadal triumph for the second time were Leonardo DiCaprio, David Beckham, Justin Timberlake and his wife Jessica Biel, Kevin Spacey, Anna Wintour and actress Jessica Alba among others.
Where the A-list sat: Leo DiCaprio, Queen Sofia of Spain, Kevin Spacey, singer Rob Thomas, Anna Wintour, Ben Stiller, Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Donald and Melania Trump, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, David Beckham, Jessica Alba, Alexander Skarsgard, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long were all spotted in the stands

Meanwhile, The Wolf Of Wall Street actor Leo, 38, looked tense and hid his face with a flat cap and large sunglasses. But he also used the quieter times during the match to chat on his mobile phone.
