Overview

• Trump, attending in Rolex’s box, was loudly booed when his image appeared during the national anthem performed by Sgt. Carla Loy of West Point.
• The USTA asked rights holders not to air any “protest or disruption” related to his presence, and stadium screens were darkened to reduce his visibility.
• Heightened security caused long entry lines and delayed the start of the final and its pre-match ceremony by about 30 minutes.
• After his image left the screens, the crowd observed the anthem in silence and the ceremony ended with a strong ovation, though he was booed again when shown later.
• The scene echoed his 2015 US Open visit, when he was also jeered and left shortly after, according to prior reports.
