US Open broadcasters told to censor boos and cheers for Trump at men’s final

The United States Tennis Association (USTA), which hosts the US Open, blasted out a missive to broadcasters, telling them to censor “distractions” from Trump’s attendance.

“With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony,” an email from the USTA first reported by Bounces said.

“We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”Disney-owned ESPN broadcasts the US Open in the United States.

The move comes about a decade after Trump attended the US Open in 2015 and faced a chorus of boos. Trump hasn’t attended a US Open since.

Sunday’s US Open will feature a showdown between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.The Post contacted the USTA for comment.
