Having never been beyond the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam, Fritz now has the opportunity to become the first American male to win a major since Andy Roddick at the U.S. Open in 2003. Just like Roddick, Fritz possesses a huge serve but it is his powerful groundstrokes and movement on the court that have helped him reach the showpiece event in New York. 

Jannik Sinner won his first Slam at the Australian Open, reached the semi-finals at the French Open and the quarters at Wimbledon. He also warmed up for this tournament by winning the Cincinnati Masters against Tiafoe. At Flushing Meadows he has dropped just one set en route to the final.

The duo have only played each other on two previous occasions, with one victory apiece. Who will emerge victorious on the big stage? Tune in to find out. 

Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch Sinner vs Fritz and all U.S. Open live streams from anywhere — including free streams.

How to watch Sinner vs Fritz live streams for FREE

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, including Sinner vs Fritz.  

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...

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching Sinner vs Fritz live streams on your usual subscription?

You can still watch the tennis live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
