New York, New York beckons for the latest instalment of Grand Slam tennis with the US Open, live and free on 9Go!HD and 9Now from Tuesday, August 27.

Over 14 days, the cream of the crop will battle it out on the hardcourts of Flushing Meadows in New York, with the tournament broadcast live and free on 9Go!HD and 9Now, and every match available to stream ad-free, live and on demand on Stan Sport, with centre court available in 4K UHD.

Jelena Dokic, Georgie Parker and Brett Phillips will provide expert commentary for Nine’s Wide World of Sports coverage each day of play, while 9News will cover all the action as the big stories develop.
 
In the men’s singles, Carlos Alcaraz (World No.3), Novak Djokovic (World No.2) and Jannik Sinner(World No.1) are ready to lock horns for the final Grand Slam title of the year. 

For Alcaraz, a US Open title would cap an all-time season, making it his third major of the year. Alcaraz and 2024 Paris Olympic gold medal winner Djokovic have been dominant performers of the past two Grand Slam seasons, each claiming three major titles, two US Open crowns among them. 

The lone unclaimed Grand Slam tournament over that span, this year’s Australian Open, went to Sinner. 2020 US Open finalist Alexander Zverev (World No.4) and 2021 champion and two-time runner-up Daniil Medvedev (World No.5) loom as legitimate contenders for this year’s title, and plenty of potential spoilers could threaten in the men’s draw. Among them are the American quintet of Taylor Fritz, Sebastian Korda, Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.
 
Flying the Aussie flag will be World No. 10 Alex De Minaur, returning after being sidelined for a month with a hip injury, plus Alexei Popyrin and Thanasi Kokkinakis.

The women’s singles title is wide open in a field featuring World No.1 Iga Świątek, looking to add a hardcourt major to her trophy cabinet. World No. 2Aryna Sabalenka and American favourite Coco Guaff(World No.3) are also among the fancied contenders.

After her loss in the Wimbledon finals, Italian Jasmine Paolini (World No.5) will make a return to the hardcourts, with Elena Rybakina (World No.4) also a major threat.

This year eight Australians will compete in the women’s singles, making it our biggest representation at the US Open since 1989. They are Daria Saville, Aijla Tomljanovic, Taylah Preston, Ariana Rodionova, Maya Joint, Kimberely Birrell, Destanee Aiava and Priscilla Hon.
