President Donald Trump faced boos and cheering while attending the final men's match at the US Open.
Although the United States Tennis Association (USTA) asked broadcasters not to highlight any negative reactions when the president visited Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, loud boos could be heard in video clips that circulated on social media.
A clip shared by Fox News, however, featured cheering when the president first appeared at the stadium.
US Open organizers announced at the last minute that the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz had been delayed due to the extra security.

Donald Trump made headlines when he was booed at Arthur Ashe Stadium back in 2015, and now he's set to return to the stadium for the US Open men's final on Sunday, but broadcasters have been warned not to air any "disruptions" this time around.
In 2015, CNN reported that "Trump found himself the target of audible boos... as he entered the U.S. Open quarterfinals in New York." Now, Trump is heading back, but you aren't likely to see a repeat of the 2015 booing, at least not on television, according to the Guardian's reporting.
"US Open broadcasters have been asked not to show any negative crowd reactions to Donald Trump at Sunday’s men’s final," according to the outlet. "The president is expected to attend the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in New York, with security at Flushing Meadows being heightened in preparation."
The Guardian further details an email sent to broadcasters, preemptively seeking to shut down the booing.
"An email sent to broadcasters by organisers reveals that the 79-year-old will be shown on screen during the singing of the national anthem ahead of the match," the outlet reports. "The message adds: 'We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president’s attendance in any capacity.'"

" Trump is about to face the loudest boos of his life," according to one conservative group responding to the latest censorship news involving the president.
Onlookers were stunned this weekend as they discovered that the US Open had warned its broadcasters to censor any potential boos of Donald Trump's appearance.
Organizers of the tennis event reportedly emailed broadcasters with a message saying in part, "We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president’s attendance in any capacity."
Online, political analysts and observers ridiculed the president and the organizers themselves.
Conservatives over at Republicans against Trump noted that, "The US Open sent an email to broadcasters instructing them to censor any crowd reactions or protests during Trump’s appearance," and added, "Trump is about to face the loudest boos of his life."
Wu Tang is for the Children, a popular liberal X account boasting hundreds of thousands of followers, said those at the United States Tennis Association "are cowards."'
Political analyst The Shallow State said, "As you may know, Trump plans to attend the US Open Men's Final. It's in NY. Tomorrow. I expect if he's announced to the crowd, he'll be booed."
"Apparently, under pressure from Trump's team, the US Open has sent an email to broadcasters, ordering them to censor any reactions or protests from the crowd to Trump. I kid you not," the account wrote late Saturday. "Here's hoping there's so much sustained booing, for so long, that it's impossible to censor, and play gets delayed."
A self-identified professional scientist using the screenname Mug of Glop also chimed in, saying, "lmao Trump is the absolute weakest b---- in history."
Ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann said, "Tennis Association demands broadcasters CENSOR reactions to Trump at U.S. Open."
"There's a reason tennis has sunk to triviality in this country in the last 40 years," he added. "It's terrified, condescending management like this."

Moments before Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz took the court to play for the world No. 1 ranking and US Open title, Trump walked out to very mixed reactions from the tennis fans.

Unfazed, the president stood there doing his trademark fist pump to the crowd.

When he reemerged at his seat just before the national anthem, he even interacted with a spectator, which had to be staged because who just approaches the President of the United States so easily like that?

In most broadcasts of Trump's appearance, you can hear the crowd's reaction, but apparently, there's a catch.

According to a memo reviewed by The Athletic, the United States Tennis Association asked "all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President's attendance in any capacity."

But that memo didn't stop the internet from sharing what really happened.
In this viral video, you can hear the mix of boos and subtle cheers as Trump was shown on the Jumbotron during the national anthem.

In another viral video, you can clearly hear that people are, in fact, boo'ing the president. Yikes.

As the videos of his appearance make their rounds on the internet, people share their frustrations with the president's appearance, which many say disrupted the entire experience.

The New York Times reported that Trump's presence at the US Open heightened security and caused delays for guests, and the final.

One person pointed out that the final was delayed by 45 minutes and had people "wait like cattle" outside the court.

Aside from being upset over the delays, the internet is having a field day over Trump being booed at the US Open. "Love to see it," one person wrote.

Other people are praising folks for uploading cellphone videos of what went down.

And, if anybody tries to challenge the notion that the president was, in fact, booed, social media wants all the smoke.
