Video of Zverev telling the umpire someone in the crowd shouted the “most famous Hitler phrase in history” in match vs. Sinner #USOpen

Alexander Zverev's late night epic at the US Open was marred by an incident which saw the former hit with abuse by one fan who shouted 'the most famous Hitler phrase in history'.
Zverev made a complaint to the umpire about a comment he heard seconds before a point. He told James Keothavong about it before adding that 'it's unacceptable'.
The umpire attempted to identify the culprit, but nobody owned up. Security was dispatched into the area to try and remedy the situation. But the man in question was in fact ejected by security much to the delight of the fans behind him.
It is not the first supporter incident during the tournament, it has been marred by crowd noise in particular as noted by Daniil Medvedev who made impressions of fans who were shouting during first and second serves. Albeit not as extreme as what Zverev had.
Watch the video below.
Someone's daddy...and probably boss got kicked out of Arthur Ashe for yelling Hitler phrases to Zverev from some of the good seats during the #USOpen 🙄

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
