Following the experimental Mixed Doubles tournament, the 2025 US Open has reached its final weekend with Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka defending their respective titles all the way to the final.
The name of Carlos Alcaraz has of course in the mix during talk of who can topple Sinner and the pair get to continue their captivating battle that has already taken in the French Open and Wimbledon final this year. Their final takes place in the Arthur Ashe Stadium today at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST).
The Italian will be eager to replicate the back-to-back success of Sabalenka, who overcame American Amanda Anisimova in yesterday's women's final in straight sets.

How to watch US Open live streams for FREE in 2025
While US Open tennis is generally on paid-for TV services around the world, tennis fans in Australia get to watch the best action absolutely free. That's because Channel 9 and its respective FREE streaming service 9Now have rights to show live matches.
Plus, ABC and ABC.com will also host 2025 US Open live streams in the U.S. during three days of the championship. Specifically, it has action from the first day, middle Sunday and Men's singles final.
What if you're usually based in Australia or U.S. but aren't at home during the 2025 US Open? 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 2025 live streams from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the tennis on your usual subscription?
You can still watch US Open live streams 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, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN — we explain why in our NordVPN review.
NordVPN deal: 3 Months Extra Free
Boasting lightning fast speeds, great features, streaming power, and class-leading security, NordVPN is our #1 VPN.
✅ 3 months extra FREE!
✅ 70% off usual price
Use Nord to unblock your streaming service and watch US Open coverage live online with our exclusive deal.
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 to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're overseas 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.

ESPN has exclusive rights to show the US Open stateside, with live action streaming every day across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
What's more, tennis fans with cable or a TV antenna will also be able to watch the first day, middle Sunday and men's final on Sunday, September 7 on ABC and ABC.com absolutely free!
If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get ESPN channels through an OTT cable TV alternative.
Our pick is Sling TV, which includes ESPN channels with its Orange plan. You can get access for as little as $4.99/day, $14.99/week or $45.99 for a whole month, which you can cancel any time.
Alternatively, there's the network's recently rebranded streaming service ESPN Select, which costs from $11.99/month and will carry extensive coverage around the courts at Flushing Meadows.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider a Now Sports Membership. This gives you flexible 24-hour access for £14.99 or £34.99/month.
