Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev live stream and how to watch US Open tennis online

It's time for the Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev live stream, and we've got a monumental matchup on our hands. This Olympic-sized rematch is Djokovic's last step before the finals, where he looks to finish his 2021 Grand Slam. So can he take this US Open live stream?

If anyone is going to knock Djokovic out of this tournament, it is Alexander Zverev. And, of course, this is also a semi-finals match — just like July's meeting of the two, which Djokovic lost 1-6, 6-3, 6-1. 

That was the death-knell for Djokovic's Golden Slam — all four Grand Slams plus a gold at the Olympics — in the same year. That was Djokovic's first loss in 2.5 months, since Rafael Nadal beat him at the Italian Open. And things kept going wrong in Tokyo, with Pablo Carreño Busta beating him in the bronze medal game. Djokovic and his partner, Nina Stojanovic would then withdraw from the mixed doubles tournament, due to his shoulder injury.

And so we find the Serbian ace looking to rectify history against the opponent (and friend) who derailed him. Unfortunately, his recent games haven't been easy. It took Djokovic three hours and 26 minutes to beat Matteo Berrettini, dropping the first set and taking the rest: 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.

Zverev hasn't given up a set since his third-round match against the American Jack Sock, and looks to be the strongest challenge to Djokovic's aspirations (again). Here's how to watch Novak Djokovic vs Alexander Zverev online:
