The hard court season reaches its zenith this August and September in the season's fourth and final grand slam, as players prepare to descend upon Flushing Meadows for the 2024 US Open.
The familiar surroundings of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York, will host some of the greatest players of the modern era across the ATP and WTA Tours once again as many look to write their names into history books.
With the Tour Finals arguably the last major accolade available following the end of an action-packed fortnight here, there’s plenty at stake as the stars look to ensure they can prolong their campaigns into the final stretch.
From old hands like Novak Djokovic to new blood such as Carlos Alcaraz, and home heroes like Coco Gauff, there’s going to be no shortage of familiar faces stepping out at Arthur Ashe Stadium and beyond.
But just what is the best way to ensure you don’t miss a single serve, volley or ace from the comfort of your home? Allow GOAL to lace up our shoes and display our best forehand swing as we guide you through how to watch the 2024 US Open.

Getty Images The 2024 edition of the US Open takes place between Monday, August 26 and Sunday, September 8, unfolding over the traditional fortnight timescale.

What happened at the US Open 2024 today?
- US Open 2024 latest—Day 9
- Men's quarterfinals
- Taylor Fritz (12) beat Alexander Zverev (4) in four sets; Frances Tiafoe (20) won in a walkover after Grigor Dimitrov (9) retired
- Women's quarterfinals
- Emma Navarro (13) beat Paula Badosa (26) in straight sets; Aryna Sabalenka (2) beat Zheng Qinwen (7) in straight sets
Day nine saw Grigor Dimitrov, trailing 4-1 in the fourth set and visibly struggling with a leg injury, be forced to retire from the match. As a result, Frances Tiafoe moves on to the semifinals, marking his second Grand Slam semifinal appearance after the 2022 U.S. Open.
It's hard not to feel for Dimitrov, who has reached three Grand Slam semifinals in his career but has yet to make it to a final. At 33, opportunities for him to get to that stage may be limited.
In the women's game, Aryna Sabalenka performed a powerful performance, defeating Zheng Qinwen 6-1, 6-2 in a commanding fashion.
With this win, Sabalenka advances to the U.S. Open semifinals for the fourth consecutive year.
