The US Open is now within touching distance, and it won't be long until the most talented tennis players on the planet are performing wonders on the hard courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre. The prestigious tournament explodes into life on August 24, and we're guaranteed to be treated to some magical and memorable moments during the Flushing Meadows fortnight. You won't want to miss a single minute of action, and you won't have to. Every men’s and women’s singles match will be available to stream live throughout the tournament.
Jannik Sinner is the man of the moment and arrives in the Big Apple in fine fettle. The Italian sensation reached his fourth consecutive Grand Slam final when winning his first-ever Wimbledon title. That Final streak began at the US Open, when he outgunned the crowd favourite, Taylor Fritz, to land his second Slam title. However, the US Open has proved to be the most unpredictable of all the major titles, and a men’s champion hasn’t successfully defended the crown since Roger Federer sealed his 5th win on the spin in New York back in 2008.
The women’s singles competition has also been difficult to predict recently, with nine different winners in the past ten years. Serena Williams was the last woman to go back-to-back when winning her sixth and last US Open crown in 2014. Serena tops the women’s honours board alongside another former American favourite, Chris Evert. Evert would lift her six trophies aloft within 8 years (1975-1982). Coco Gauff, Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula and Naomi Osaka are just a handful of Stars and Stripes hopefuls who will fancy their chances of giving the home crowds something to cheer about this time around.

So what about the British chances? Emma Raducanu stunned the tennis world when she reigned supreme as the Queen of New York in 2021. As well as becoming the first qualifier (male or female) to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open Era, she was also the first British woman to claim the US Open crown since Virginia Wade in 1968. Fans on this side of the Atlantic will be hoping she can rediscover that magic again this time around.
You have to go back further, to 2012, for the last time the US Open men’s singles title was won by a British male. Andy Murray triumphed that year against Novak Djokovic, which made up for his disappointment in the 2008 Final when losing to Roger Federer. This year, Jack Draper looks to have the best shot of the British contingent heading overseas. He reached the semis at the US Open twelve months ago, and he’ll be keen to follow up on that after failing to spark at Wimbledon.
As well as a Sunday start, there is also another novel tournament twist this year, with the Mixed Doubles event taking place during the build-up week, also known as ‘Fan Week’. The Mixed Doubles action gets underway on Tuesday, August 19 and climaxes the following day (Wednesday, August 20), with a cool $1 million going to the winners.

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre is a complex of tennis courts, including stadiums, that has hosted the US Open tennis tournament since 1978. It is located within Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City. The facility has 22 courts inside its 46.5 acres and 12 in the adjoining park. The complex's three stadiums are among the largest tennis stadiums in the world; Arthur Ashe Stadium tops the global list with a capacity of 23,200.
The Tennis Centre is open to the public for play, except during the US Open, junior, and wood-racket competitions. Formerly called the USTA National Tennis Centre, the facility was renamed in 2006 in honour of Billie Jean King, who won the US Open on four occasions.

How to watch the US Open 2025 from anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the US Open 2025 locally, you may need a different way to watch the tennis action. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds, by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're travelling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the live tennis. Most VPNs, like NordVPN, make it easy to do this.
We highly recommend using NordVPN, but you can also check out our detailed VPN guide for other options.
