The US Open held their own tribute to the Queen with a moment of silence ahead of last night's women's semi-final match.
Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday at the age of 96 surrounded by her family at her beloved Scottish estate in Balmoral. Hours later Ons Jabeur and Caroline Garcia competed for a place in Saturday's US Open final.
The match was played at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in the New York borough of Queens. The borough is believed to be named after Catherine of Braganza, who was the Queen of England while married to King Charles II from 1662 until 1685.
The US Open joined sporting events across the world marking the Queen's death with a moment of silence. Ahead of their Europa League matches last night Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham all showed their respects.
Also in America the NFL fell silent on the opening day of their season as the Rams took on Buffalo Bills. Equally in baseball the New York Yankees paid their respects ahead of a game against Minnesota Twins.
The Queen has made several appearances at Wimbledon during her reign as Monarch and awarded Britain's Virginia Wade her trophy after her famous singles title win in 1977. Queen Elizabeth was also in attendance at SW19 in 2010 when she watched Andy Murray in action.
Ahead of last night's US Open semi-final match the players gathered at the net ahead of the the coin toss.
A tannoy announcement then said: "We would like to pause to remember Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with the people of the United Kingdom. Please join us in a moment of silence."
The semi-final saw fifth seed Jabeur, from Tunisia, reach her third Grand Slam final of the season - losing the other two. The 28-year-old beat French player Caroline Garcia 6-1 6-3 in a convincing display of tennis.
Jabeur will face top seed Iga Świątek in tomorrow night's final after she beat Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka 3-6 6-1 6-4.
The Queen's death was announced at 6.30pm last night (Wednesday) with a statement from Buckingam Palace stating: "The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."
The UK is now in a period of official mourning with her funeral due to take place within a fortnight.
