2. Well I'm sure our brave TV networks will say no way.

3. Well, not quite as shitty as the announcement that TSF would be THERE. Uggh...

I was so looking forward to watching Alcaraz v Sinner tomorrow. The last thing I want to see is that POS.

4. They just keep kissing his ass.

5. They should add a "protests included" option on PPV and see how many prefer it. nt

6. Hochul or Mamdani would be smart to show up to the event tomorrow

Sit nearby, make him uncomfortable. USTA cannot touch the NY governor or future NYC mayor, even for Trump.

7. I'm boycotting if he shows up.

8. He spoils everything. Luckily it's Sunday so there will be other games on

But this is a preview of what he'll do at the World Cup and Olympics.

9. Ohh, I forgot about the Arthur Ashe Stadium vs....

It's an affront to Mr Ashe for him to show up there as well.
I was thinking of my dear Forest Hills Tennis Stadium where I saw Simon & Garfunkel, and The Who.
That's be an affront to me!

Well, drumphf as pResident has been an affront to me since Nov 2016! So there's that! 😑😬 sigh

10. How pathetic.

11. Rolex invited him to their box.

12. There are dozens of posts on Threads urging attendees to boo, chant, and

Record and post videos online. I can’t wait to see these.

It’s especially outrageous that in this year, Althea Gibson was honored. What an insult that TSF has done so many things contrary to what she stood for and yet is an invited guest.

Since Rolex, a big tour sponsor, invited TSF to their box, USTA officials may have been cowed by Rolex to capitulate. Money talks again, but people can talk back. Too bad it’s not a product most people buy and could boycott.

14. I'm counting on New York's disdain for the mango man.

15. New Yorkers, and most tennis fans. There's always a core

Group of GOP-ers who can afford tickets and wear diamond bracelets, but some of them are never-Trumpers too.

They are delaying the start of the match to 2:30 due to increased security’s slowing down fans’ ability to get to their seats.

13. We used to be a country with freedom of speech.

16. Video of the crowd's booing TSF
