In his four matches at this year’s US Open, Fritz has dropped just one set despite facing tough opposition in Matteo Berrettini and Casper Ruud.

Fritz has also limited his unforced errors and is the first American man to make it to the last 16 or further at all four majors in a single season since Andre Agassi in 2003. However, he now faces a huge test against the fourth seed.

Zverev may not have been at his best so far in New York, dropping sets against Maximilian Marterer, Tomás Martín Etcheverry and Brandon Nakashima, but the German has the game to cause huge problems for Fritz. 

Possessing a huge serve and a strong return game, Zverev leads the head-to-head 5-4 and has already reached a Grand Slam final this year, losing in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz. However, the last time they played it was Fritz who secured the victory as he won a five-set epic at Wimbledon.  

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

How to watch Fritz vs Zverez 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 Fritz vs Zverez. 

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 Fritz vs Zverez 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:
