The US Open quarterfinals are here, and today's line-up includes an exciting match between American Taylor Fritz and German Alexander Zverev. If you're hoping to tune in, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn how to watch Taylor Fritz vs. Alexander Zverev, including a free live streaming option.
Both Fritz and Zverev are attempting to win their first Grand Slam at the 2024 US Open, but only one will be able to pass on to the semi-finals. Fritz is fresh off a bronze medal win at the Olympics, where he and Tommy Paul (who was bounced for the US Open last night) podiumed in the doubles category. Zverev is one of the highest-ranked current male tennis players, with 22 career titles under his belt (including this year's Italian Open), but he has yet to win a Grand Slam. Fritz and Zverev last played at Wimbledon in July, where Fritz eliminated Zverev in the fourth round.
Whether you're rooting for Fritz or Zverev, we'll show you everything you need to know about watching today's match. For streaming info on other matches, make sure to follow our guide on how to watch the US Open.
The Fritz vs. Zverev quarterfinal match-up will air on ESPN in the US. If you don't have cable or your plan is missing ESPN, there are a couple of live streaming alternatives that can help you out, including Sling TV and Fubo. Both of these options also provide ESPN3 coverage (Sling directly and Fubo if you sign onto the ESPN website with your Fubo log-in credentials), which should be your go-to if ESPN switches away from the court that you're watching.

Fubo is another great cable alternative. It's a bit more expensive, with subscriptions going for $80 a month, but first-time customers can try out the service for free for one week. In addition to ESPN, Fubo carries ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, ESPN Deportes, ABC, and more than 180 other channels.
The Fritz vs. Zverev match will air on Sky Sports in the UK, along with the rest of the US Open. Prices vary from plan to plan, but Sky Sports is also available to live stream through Now TV. You can get a one-day pass for £15 if you're only interested in watching today's quarterfinals. If you're looking to catch the rest of the US Open, you might want to try a monthlong contract for £35.
Much of the US Open, including the Fritz vs. Zverev quarterfinals, will be available to live stream for free on 9Now in Australia. This option just requires users to create a free account, and then they're all set to start watching.
