Sinner vs Fritz live stream: How to watch U.S. Open men's final 2024 online and on TV, match underway
World No. 1 faces tough test against in-form American
The players have completed their warm-ups and the U.S. Open men's singles final is about to get underway. Can Taylor Fritz become the first American man to win a Grand Slam title in 21 years? Or will world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who has won all five finals he has contested this season, claim a second major title?
Read on and we'll show you how to watch Sinner vs Fritz live streams from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for FREE.
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...
Watch Sinner vs Fritz live streams from anywhere
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). 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 to in the VPN app. For instance if you're away 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 Sinner vs Fritz live.
