Broadcasters of the U.S. Open have reportedly been instructed to censor fan reactions to President Donald Trump attending the men’s singles final on Sunday, September 7.
At 2 p.m. ET, Jannik Sinner will face off against Carlos Alcaraz at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. Trump is expected to attend as a guest of Rolex — and an email sent to broadcasters like ESPN and Sky Sports revealed what that coverage will look like.
