2024 U.S. Open: How to Watch with Sling TV
The U.S. Open has an exciting lineup for the men's and women's quarterfinals. Here's how to watch America's biggest tennis event live with Sling.
A week into the US Open and America's biggest tennis tournament is already closed for many of the sports' biggest stars.
On the women’s side, Coco Gauff, last year’s champion, was ousted in the Round of 16 after recording 19 double-faults. And in the men’s bracket, Novak Djokovic’s quest to repeat ended in the third-round, while Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated in straight sets in the second round.
With those players now watching at home like the rest of us, a lot of underdogs have a chance to win a major tournament, including several Americans. Here’s a preview of what to watch in the second week of the US Open. To watch the remaining US Open matches with Sling, use the link below to subscribe to Sling Orange with ESPN!

The year of upsets continued into the quarterfinals. After a 10-month break due to a wrist injury she suffered at last year's US Open, Karolina Muchova is rounding back into form, as the Czech star overcame a stomach bug in her win over Beatriz Haddad Maia. According to ESPN, Muchova is just the fifth unseeded player in US Open history to make the semifinal without dropping a set. Muchova will face first-time major semifinalist Jessica Pegula on Thursday night (8:30pm ET, ESPN). Pegula – whose parents are owners of the Buffalo Bills and Sabres franchises – upset world No. 1 Iga Swiatek in straight sets to advance past the quarterfinals of a major tournament for the first time in seven attempts.
On the other side of the bracket, the semifinal will be between No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka and American Emma Navarro. Sabalenka made easy work of Qinwen Zheng in their quarterfinal draw, winning 6-1, 6-2. Like Pegula, Navarro will be playing in her first Grand Slam semifinal after besting Paula Badosa in the quarterfinals. Their match is scheduled for 7:00pm ET on Sept. 5; watch live on ESPN.
UPDATE: Following the semifinals, first-time Grand Slam finalist Jessica Pegula will face Aryna Sabalenka in the Final on Saturday, Sep. 7. Watch live on ESPN at 4:00pm ET.

In the men's semifinals, No. 1-seeded Jannick Sinner also reached his first US Open semifinal in a five-set win over Daniil Medvedev. As MSN points out, Sinner has now reached the final four at each of the four Grand Slams, "something his rival Carlos Alcaraz is yet to achieve." Sinner will go up against Brit Jack Draper, who cruised to a straight-set win over Australian Alex de Minaur in the quarters. Their semifinal match is scheduled for 3:00pm ET on Friday, Sep. 6 on ESPN.
It's an all-American affair in the other men's semifinal, where No. 12-seeded Taylor Fritz will take on Frances Tiafoe in primetime (7:00pm ET, ESPN) for a trip to the final. Fritz will also, as is the theme here, play in his first major semifinal on Friday, while Tiafoe returns to the semis for the second time in three years after Grigor Dimitrov withdrew from their quarterfinal match in the fourth set due to injury. With one of the two players guaranteed to advance to the final, this is the first time in 18 years that an American man will play for the US Open championship.
