The US Open comes to a thrilling conclusion with today’s men’s final. We’ve compiled everything you need to know about how to watch a Fritz vs. Sinner live stream, including a free option that you can watch from anywhere if you use a VPN to get around online geo-restrictions – more details below.
Italian World No. 1, Jannik Sinner, who won this year’s hard court Australian Open, enters Arthur Ashe Stadium as the favorite. He’s been in great form, getting past Medvedev and the USA’s Paul on the way to the final, so he won’t be afraid of the home crowd’s support for his next opponent. Taylor Fritz (who picked up a bronze in the men’s doubles at the Paris Olympics) is looking for his first Grand Slam and has had some hard matches to reach the final, with a tougher run than Sinner as he’s beaten Tiafoe, Zverev, and Ruud in the last three rounds. Expect a close match, possibly a long one, with an incredible atmosphere from Flushing, New York, in 2024’s final Grand Slam.
Whether you’re hoping to see Fritz become the first American man to win a Grand Slam title since 2003 or you’re rooting for Sinner to pick up his second Grand Slam, we’ll make sure you can tune in from anywhere. If you’ve been following the tournament over the past couple of weeks, most of the watch options are the same, with the exception of the US. We’ll detail that network change below.
How to watch Fritz vs. Sinner from anywhere for free
Those who will be away from Australia when the men’s final takes place can still tune into the free 9Now streaming option using a VPN (virtual private network). These handy tech tools let people change their virtual location so that they can still keep up with their usual apps, websites, and subscriptions from anywhere. They also serve as a solid means to upgrade online privacy and security.
If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs, we recommend checking out ExpressVPN, a beginner-friendly option. The service has a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee and other perks, which you can read about in our ExpressVPN review. Below, we’ve outlined how to use a VPN.
With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.
How to watch Fritz vs. Sinner with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don’t have one.

How to watch Fritz vs. Sinner in the US
The US viewing option shakes up for the final. Instead of ESPN channels, the match will air on ABC. If you don’t have cable, an antenna, or your cable package recently lost ABC, you can still watch ABC via a live TV package like Sling TV or Fubo.
Sling is the cheaper option today, but the service’s local channel coverage (like ABC) is selective, so you should double-check to make sure your region can live stream the network before subscribing. Sling Blue is the way to go when it comes to local channels. The plan offers about 42 channels for $40 a month, but the service usually runs a promo that will give you about half off your first month, as seen in our streaming deals guide.
For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $25 off.
Fubo is another solid, sports-friendly option and places highly on our list of the best sports streaming services. The service carries broad ABC coverage and more than 180 other channels. Subscriptions are a bit more expensive, at $80 a month, but new customers can try out Fubo free for one week before they start getting billed.
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it’ll cost you extra.
How to watch Fritz vs. Sinner in the UK
Like the rest of the US Open, the men’s final will air on Sky Sports in the UK. Viewers can also live stream the Sky offerings via Now TV, which offers everything from single-day passes (£15) to monthlong plans (£35).
How to watch Fritz vs. Sinner in Australia
The men’s final is available for free through 9Now in Australia. Viewers just need to create a log-in if they don’t already have one, and then they’re all set to start live streaming. This has been an excellent option throughout the tournament and is the best option to tune into via a VPN (see above) if you’re looking for a free option overseas.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
