00:00Did Carlos Alcárez dedicate an empty seat and golden plaque to Charlie Kirk at the US Open?

00:09A series of online posts falsely claim that pro tennis player Carlos Alcárez

00:14dedicated an empty seat to the late conservative political activist Charlie Kirk at the US Open.

00:19Versions of the same story add that he gave a heartfelt speech about Kirk's death,

00:24while others claim he also donated thousands of dollars to Kirk's family.

00:27Kirk was shot and killed on the 14th of September this year at Utah Valley University.

00:32A suspect was arrested shortly afterwards.

00:35And while news of Kirk's death made ripples globally,

00:37the claim that Alcárez dedicated a golden plaque and the permanent empty seat to him is false.

00:43Players do not have the authority to alter or dedicate seating at the Arthur Ashe Stadium,

00:47where the US Open is held.

00:49It's owned and operated by the United States Tennis Association,

00:52and every seat is ticketed for fans during the US Open or all their events.

00:56No program or policy allows individuals to permanently dedicate a seat with a plaque.

01:01Therefore, if a permanent seat dedication were ever approved at Arthur Ashe Stadium,

01:05it would have been a major news story in the world of tennis.

01:08And there is no record on the official website nor other press releases of Alcárez dedicating a seat.

01:13The post also included a fabricated quote about the gold plaque and Kirk,

01:18supposedly delivered by Alcárez in a press conference.

01:20But the speech was never given.

01:22US Open press appearances are always recorded and distributed to media outlets.

01:26If a star like Alcárez had delivered such a significant statement about Kirk,

01:30it would appear in the official transcripts and likely be instantly covered by multiple outlets.

01:35Alcárez actual press conferences during the tournament were indeed reported on by global sports media,

01:40but none included mentions of Kirk or seat dedications.

01:42This story also claimed that Alcárez donated $260,000 to Kirk's family, but this is also false.

01:49No credible news outlet, official US Open channel or Alcárez representative has reported such a donation.
