President Donald Trump was greeted with a mixture of cheers and boos when he arrived for the start of the U.S. Open men's tennis final match in New York on Sunday.
President Donald Trump was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos on his arrival at the U.S. Open final on Sunday, with the majority of the stadium seats empty and match start time delayed due to enhanced security checks.

The United States Tennis Association had asked broadcasters to remove any reaction to Trump, according to reports over the weekend.
A USTA spokesperson told Reuters the association regularly asked broadcasters “to refrain from showcasing off-court disruptions.”
The match start time, originally set for 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), was delayed by 30 minutes due to security checks announced U.S. Open organizers, about a half hour before it was set to begin.
“As a result of the security measures in place, and to ensure that fans have additional time to get to their seats, we have pushed the start time of today’s match to 2:30 p.m. ET,” the tournament organizers said in a statement.
