Spectator ejected from U.S. Open Tennis Championships after shouting Nazi slogans at German tennis player

New York, September 8 (RHC)-- At the U.S. Open Tennis Championships being held in New York, an audience member was thrown out of the stadium after he chanted “Deutschland über alles,” a phrase associated with Hitler and Nazism, during a match with German player Alexander Zverev. 

Zverev informed the chair umpire, which led to security ejecting the fan as the crowd applauded.  Zverev later said: “As a German, I’m not proud of that part of history, and it’s not OK to do that.”
