Unprecedented measures taken by US Open Organizers
Official TV stations were asked to not broadcast protests or reactions to the presence of President Donald Trump at the Sunday Sunday final from the US Open, between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
Trump will make his first visit to the US Open in 2015 – when he was greeted in New York, a majority Democratic city.
On the eve of the final, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sent an e-mail to the broadcasters, such as ESPN and Sky Sports: “Regarding the coverage of the event, the president will be presented on the World Feed and Ashe Court Feed during the opening ceremony. We ask all the broadcasters to refrain from presenting any disturbances or reactions in response to the president's presence in any capacity.”
Trump, invited as a guest of Rolex, sponsor of the sports event
Trump would not have been invited by the representatives of the tournament, but as a guest of Rolex, the Swiss brand of luxury watches and major sponsor.
There were statements that the Huiduielii were edited from the Live Fox transmission from Super Bowl, during Trump's presence this year.
Meanwhile, Trump's supporters have accused the networks of deliberate limiting time to expose the president to important sporting events, such as university football matches.
However, while broadcasters are trying to minimize the reactions to the controversial president, the images filmed with the mobile phones of fans on the stadium will reveal the truth.
The Spanish star Alcaraz has already spoke about Trump's plans to track the final
“It is a privilege for tournaments to have the president of each country … to support the tournament, to support tennis and to support the match,” He initially told reporters, asked about Trump after his victory against Novak Djokovic.
“For me, playing in front of him … Honestly, I will try not to think about it. I don't want to … to be excited because of it.
But I think … it is great for tennis to have the president at the end. “
Trump made sports an important element of the second presidential term, the Sunday tennis final being the second big event in New York who is expected to participate.
After the US Open final, Trump is expected to be present at the Yankee Stadium on September 11, in commemorating the attack on the city.
That evening, the New York Yankees team, involved in the playoff, will host Detroit Tigers, one of the best seasonal baseball teams in Bronx.
Trump has also confirmed that he will be present on the first day of the Ryder Cup, on Friday, September 26, in Bethpage, New York.
The president was also seen at the FIFA Club Club Club Cup in New York in July, where he was present to hand the Chelsea FC winners trophy.
