Coco Gauff finally captured her first major at last year's US Open and became the first American to win the tournament since Sloane Stephens six years prior. Although, she has the respective Australian and French Open winners Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek ahead of her in the seedings. All three have looked very strong so far in Queens.
Not so for men's champ Novak Djokovic, who was defeated by Australian Alexei Popyrin in the third round. With Carlos Alcaraz also out, the men's draw has been blown wide open. It gives the likes of in-form, no.1 seeded Italian Jannik Sinner and defeated last year's finalist Daniil Medvedev a big chance of another Slam. While those from the coming generation like Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud will all be desperate to take the opportunity — it's the first time in 22 years that any of Novak, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will fail to win a major.
It's set to be another fantastic fortnight at Flushing Meadows. You won't want to miss any of the action so check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch US Open tennis from anywhere — including free streams.

How to watch US Open live streams for FREE in 2024
While US Open tennis is generally on paid-for TV services around the world, tennis fans in Australia and New Zealand get to watch the best action absolutely free.
That's because Channel 9 and TVNZ — and their respective FREE streaming services 9Now and TVNZ+ — have rights to show live matches.
But what if you're usually based in Australia or New Zealand, but aren't at home during the 2024 US Open fortnight? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on a new TV service in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below...
Watch US Open live streams from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching US Open live streams on your usual subscription?
You can still watch the tennis live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for sports fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best. It's outstanding at unblocking streaming services, it's fast and it has top-level security features too. With over 6,000 servers, across 110 countries, and at a great price too, it's easy to recommend.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect toin the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual Australian service, you'd select an Australia-based server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 9Now or another website and stream the tennis live.
