U.S. Open later rounds take centre stage

The U.S. Open provides the day's tour-level tennis, with several matches the model cannot split.

Today's tennis is centred on the U.S. Open in New York. The model has picked out a selection of the day's contests, with some rated too close to call and others leaning clearly in favour of a particular player.

In the US, coverage is across ESPN and ABC, with streaming on the ESPN app. UK viewers can watch on Sky Sports Tennis, streaming via NOW or Sky Go. Australian viewers have the Nine network and its streaming services, and Canadian viewers can use TSN, RDS or TSN+.
