In a surprising turn of events, US Open broadcasters have been instructed to steer clear of any portrayal of negative audience reactions to former President Donald Trump during the men's final this Sunday.

As Trump prepares to make his much-anticipated appearance at the match between tennis stars Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, heightened security measures are being implemented at Flushing Meadows.

This will be Trump's first visit to the US Open since 2015, a year marked by loud disapproval from fans when he was last seen at the tournament.

In a communication to broadcasters, event organizers stated, "We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president’s attendance in any capacity." The directive highlights the tension surrounding Trump's presence.

With his arrival potentially overshadowing the highly anticipated showdown between Alcaraz and Sinner, who are in a third consecutive Grand Slam final, Trump's attendance is already stirring conversations.

However, Alcaraz views Trump's presence positively, noting, "It’s a privilege for tournaments to have the president of any country supporting tennis and the match. I will do my best not to let it distract me, as it can be nerve-racking, but it’s great for the sport to have him there."

Tensions may be high, but one thing’s for sure: the spotlight on this year’s US Open final just got a lot brighter.
