President Donald Trump was repeatedly booed — and occasionally cheered — while attending the U.S. Open men’s final on Sunday, marking the latest sporting event where he’s been met with vocal backlash.

Trump attended the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday afternoon as a guest of the luxury watch brand Rolex, causing significant delays for fans as stricter security measures were put in place for his appearance.

While the match was initially scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., it was pushed nearly an hour as hundreds of people remained stuck in security going into the stadium.

During the national anthem, Trump was met with boos, and when he was shown on the jumbotron saluting from a suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium, he was met with a smattering of cheers. Later in the match, he was booed again for an extended period after the camera panned to him during a set break.....

ABC and ESPN, however, were among those that continued to air the jeers and heckling that occurred, refusing to bow to requests to filter dissent.
