A fan was ejected from the US Open on Monday, Sept. 4, after Germany's Alexander Zverev protested about the words of a Nazi-era anthem being shouted from the stands.
Germany's Alexander Zverev celebrates his win against Italy's Jannik Sinner during the US Open tennis tournament men's singles round of 16 match at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City, early morning on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
"He just said the most famous Hitler phrase there is in this world," Zverev told the umpire."This is unbelievable."Eventually a man wearing a blue baseball cap was singled out and ordered to leave the arena. "He was getting involved in the match for a long time and I don't mind it. I love when fans are loud, I love when fans are emotional but I think me being German, and not really proud of that history, it's not really a great thing to do.
"Look for me it's not a very smart guy, the guy who did it," Zverev said."At the end of the day I said what I said, the umpire said 'Okay we're going to get him out' and that's what he did.The late-night US Open crowds on the 23,000-capacity Arthur Ashe Stadium are famously boisterous but have been criticized during this year's tournament.
