Before the arrival of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to attend the men's final of the US Open, the organization had sent an email to television networks.

This action was intended to ask broadcasters to censor any potential reactions from the public during the American billionaire's arrival.

However, ABC and ESPN refused to comply by not censoring the boos when he appeared on screen.

Among some other media outlets, the request made by the USTA (United States Tennis Association) was deemed "embarrassing."

US Open

Draw

Interesting article. Biased maybe? From what I've read Trump was greeted with both boos and cheers. In an extremely liberal area of America like New York one would expect the boos to totally drown out any few cheers there might be, but that wasn't the case. Sounds like it was kind of split, just like politics in America. But who cares? Why is a so-called sport writer even bringing up American politics? For more important is what is going with Ukraine/Russia. Even reporting on France's political crisis is more important.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I could care less about any politician or celebrity attending a sporting event.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
