Broadcasters including Sky Sports have been ordered to censor any protests or reactions to president Donald Trump when he attends Sunday’s US Open men’s singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
Trump will make his first visit to the US Open since 2015 – when he was met with a chorus of boos in majority-Democrat New York.
On the eve of the final, the United States Tennis Association sent out an email to broadcasters, including Sky Sports who hold the UK rights.
That email, seen by Daily Mail Sport, says: ‘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.’
There were claims that boos were edited out of live Fox coverage of the Super Bowl during Trump’s attendance earlier this year.
However the broadcasters massage the reaction to the controversial president, mobile phone footage from fans inside the stadium will surely reveal the truth.
