Broadcasters covering the U.S. Open men’s tennis final on Sunday have been “asked” to censor any audience reaction to President Donald Trump, who plans to attend as the guest of tournament sponsor Rolex.

Tennis reporter Ben Rothenberg wrote Saturday for his publication Bounces, “An internal email sent by the U.S. Tennis Association leadership to U.S. Open broadcasters, obtained by Bounces, requested that broadcasters censor any possible protests or other reactions to President Donald Trump’s presence at Sunday’s U.S. Open men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.” Rothenberg included “key text” from the letter:

With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony. We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage

.

The last time Trump attended the U.S. Open championship was in Sept. 2015, when he was still a candidate for president. He was booed by the crowd as he watched from The Trump Organization suite during a quarterfinal match between Venus and Serena Williams.
