Spectator Ejected from US Open After Shouting Nazi Slogan at German Player
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news from the US Open, an audience member was thrown out of the
stadium on Monday 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."
