President Trump Met with Boos at U.S. Open Men's Final in New York City
The U.S. Open men's final at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City saw a mixed reception for President Donald Trump, with boos and sparse clapping greeting his arrival. The crowd's reaction continued during the national anthem and when the president was shown on the arena screen during a set break. Despite the U.S. Tennis Association's request to censor the crowd's response, boos were audible on the national telecast.
The stadium was still mostly empty when Trump arrived, causing a delay in the final match's start time due to security lines. The trophy was moved to the Rolex suite where Trump was watching the match, a departure from its usual location during the final. This is not the first time Trump has faced heckling at the U.S. Open, as he was loudly booed during his previous attendance in 2015.
