Pierce Brosnan’s 007 US Open Moment Goes Viral

Pierce Brosnan’s appearance at the US Open men’s final produced a viral James Bond reference when ESPN’s broadcast showed the match clock at 0:07 before cutting or dissolving to the actor in the stands. Brosnan, who portrayed 007 in four Bond films, prompted viewers to praise the timing and the broadcast crew, while the official US Open account called the sequence “absolute cinema.” The moment occurred during the final between Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton, which Zverev ultimately won in four sets according to one report.
