The US Open quarterfinals wrap up tonight with a match between Russian Daniil Medvedev and Italian Jannik Sinner. We'll show you everything you need to know about how to watch Sinner vs. Medvedev free, including the best options for tuning in from anywhere.
Medvedev, who is ranked fifth in the world, previously won the US Open in 2021, marking his first and only Grand Slam win. Sinner, the current world number 1, won his first Grand Slam this year at the 2024 Australian Open. Medvedev leads the duo's head-to-head record 7-5, so they've historically been pretty well-matched. The winner of tonight's match will play the winner of today's Jack Draper vs. Alex de Minaur match in the semi-finals. So far, Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe have advanced to the other semi-final match.
We'll show you all of your watch options today, including how to tune in free from anywhere via a VPN, which we'll detail below. This option should also work for the rest of the tournament, which we break down in our how to watch the US Open streaming guide.

You can catch the Sinner vs. Medvedev match on ESPN and ESPN3 in the US. If you're watching one channel and it cuts to another match or isn't showing Sinner vs. Medvedev, the other channel will still have your match. Cord-cutters or those whose cable plan has recently lost ESPN can watch the channels through live TV packages like Sling TV or Fubo. Sling TV is the cheaper of the two options today. The Sling Orange plan offers ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPN4K, and 31 other live channels in its lineup. Subscriptions go for $40 a month, but you can get your first month for just $15 right now.
Fubo is another ESPN-friendly option. The sports-centric streaming service carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes. While it won't show up in your Fubo TV guide, you can also watch ESPN3 by logging onto the ESPN website or app with your Fubo credentials. Subscriptions go for $79.99 a month, which makes sense considering that the service offers more than 180 channels. First-time customers can try it out free for one week.
Sinner vs. Medvedev will be available through Sky Sports in the UK, where prices vary depending on the plan and contract length you choose. You can also catch the match on Now TV, which offers flexible live streaming coverage. A one-day pass goes for £15, while a monthlong contract costs £35.
As we've mentioned above, most of the US Open is available for free on 9Now in Australia. Australians who are looking for a comprehensive, ad-free experience can check out the tournament on Stan Sport, where subscriptions go for about AU$27 a month after you combine the base plan and the required Sport add-on.
