The United States Tennis Association (USTA) reportedly made a controversial request prior to President Donald Trump's 2025 US Open appearance. According to an email obtained by Bounces, the association asked broadcasters to censor any crowd reaction, be it boos or cheers, to Trump's attendance at the Sunday, September 7, US Open men's final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. "With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony," the email reportedly read in part.
