US Open broadcasters have been asked not to show any negative crowd reactions to Donald Trump<\/a> at Sunday\u2019s men\u2019s final.<\/p>\n

The president is expected to attend the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in New York, with security at Flushing Meadows being heightened in preparation.<\/p>\n

Trump used to be a regular visitor to the US Open but has not been to the tournament since 2015, a year before he was elected president for the first time, when he was booed by spectators.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The message adds: \u201cWe ask all broadcasters to refrain from showing any disruptions or reactions in response to the president\u2019s attendance in any capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s visit threatens to take some of the spotlight away from Alcaraz and Sinner, who are meeting in a third successive grand slam final.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz, though, believes it is good for tennis<\/a> to have the president in attendance, saying: \u201cIt is a privilege for the tournaments having the president from every country just to support the tournament, to support tennis, and to support the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, playing in front of him, I will try not to be focused on that, and I will try not to think about it. I don\u2019t want myself to be nervous because of it, but I think, attending the tennis match, it\u2019s great for tennis to have the president coming to the final.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US Open broadcasters have been asked not to show any negative crowd reactions to Donald Trump at Sunday\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138368,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-138367","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138368"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
