"Trump was expected to be back out on the balcony for the National Anthem and an emptier stadium would dull the potential negative reaction that USTA had anticipated. 5,000 people couldn’t be nearly as loud as the full capacity of nearly 24k."

Shame on USTA for helping stage this farce, if that's what actually did happen.

"Despite the USTA’s panicked plea to broadcasters to suppress any negative reaction, the boos exploded through the microphones of ESPN and ABC.

'Clearly audible,' was how one reporter put it. Sort of like a Giuliani fart during a hearing to try and swipe an election in Michigan."

"But millions at home may never see it, thanks to a governing body that has chosen to act less like a guardian of sport and more like a nervous producer of campaign stagecraft. For a sport that prides itself on honesty and clarity – the ball is in or out – it is a shameful retreat."

"According to internal emails obtained by outlets including PA and Bounces, the USTA instructed its television partners to “refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions” when Trump appears on screen during Sunday’s final. ...

Fans will still do what fans do. If they want to boo, they will boo."

"The crowd, much larger this time, booed him so long and lustily that it was hard not to be reminded of the harsh reception to Trump at the 2019 World Series. Later on Sunday, the camera cut to noted Trump bugbear Bruce Springsteen – triggering a roar of approval that nearly blew the Ashe roof off."

I've been a fan of the #USTA since I was in the 9th grade.

I'll never watch their broadcasts again.

The #USOpen had already dropped to the bottom of my Slam list. This absolutely confirms it. #USTA, you're a truly craven organization with no guiding principle except bootlicking and collaborating with fascists.

@savannahstennis is like to see these combined events commit to alternating the schedules for men’s and women’s finals every other year. This especially goes for the majors. Problems are really built around that imbalance which almost always rationalizes prioritizing men’s schedules. #Tennis #SchedulingParity #USTA #FFT #TennisAustralia #AELTC #WTA #ATP #ITF

Just checking to see if any of our #Tennis governing orgs have made it over here. Nope. Buncha slackers...
