Anyone like Tennis?

The United States Tennis Association asked broadcasters of the U.S. Open to censor any protests or reaction to President Donald Trump’s appearance at the men’s singles final today.

U.S. Open Orders Broadcasters to Censor Reactions to Trump

It is also noteworthy where the US president will be seated in the stadium. The organisers initially announced Trump innocuously as a ‘guest customer’. It later emerged that he had been invited by Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Rolex – a piquant detail given the escalating customs dispute with Switzerland.

The redeeming part of all that was that the tennis was so good that everyone forgot about Trump and was talking about how Alcaraz took it to the next level to beat number one Sinner and avenge his Wimbledon loss. Also, while tennis on the men's side has devolved to a two man game, the women's draw was amazing. There are at least five women who were playing the lights out and would have been a worthy champion. Both the semis and the final was some seriously great tennis.
