“Spectator Ejected from U.S. Open for Shocking Reason! You Won’t Believe What The German Player Alexander Zverev Revealed!” | Fan accused by player of using Hitler regime language is booted from U.S. Open

Tuesday morning in the early hours, at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York, a spectator was forcibly removed from the venue during a match involving German player Alexander Zverev. The ejection occurred following a complaint by Zverev regarding the use of language associated with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime by the said spectator.

Alexander Zverev, seeded 12th in the tournament, was in the fourth set of his match against the 6th-seeded Jannik Sinner, with the score tied at 2-2. Suddenly, Zverev signaled to the chair umpire, James Keothavong, and pointed towards the offending spectator, who was seated in a section behind the umpire.

Zverev expressed his concern to Keothavong, stating, “He just used a phrase associated with Hitler, the most infamous figure in history. This is completely unacceptable.”

In response, Keothavong turned around and requested the fan to identify himself, while also urging all spectators to maintain respect for both players. Shortly after Zverev successfully held his serve during a changeover, nearby spectators were able to identify the offending fan, and security personnel promptly removed him from the stadium.

Chris Widmaier, a spokesperson for the U.S. Tennis Association, confirmed the situation, stating, “A derogatory remark was directed towards Alexander Zverev, and the fan responsible was identified and escorted out of the stadium.”

Following the match, Zverev shared his thoughts on the incident, mentioning that while he has encountered fans making derogatory comments in the past, this incident involving Hitler’s anthem, “Deutschland Über Alles,” was particularly disturbing. Zverev emphasized his appreciation for passionate and vocal fans but stressed the inappropriateness of referencing such a dark historical period, especially considering his German heritage.

Zverev faced difficulties in the humid conditions during the match, particularly in the set following the incident when his opponent, Sinner, experienced cramps. Nevertheless, Zverev managed to recover and ultimately won the match in a grueling contest that lasted 4 hours and 41 minutes, concluding around 1:40 a.m. He advanced to the quarterfinals, where he is set to compete against defending U.S. Open champion Carlos Alcaraz.

Reflecting on the spectator’s remark, Zverev noted that it was not difficult for him to move past it, expressing that the spectator ultimately missed witnessing the thrilling final two sets of the match.
