The US Open quarterfinals wrap up tonight with a match between Russian Daniil Medvedev and Italian Jannik Sinner. We'll show you everything you need to know about how to watch Sinner vs. Medvedev free, including the best options for tuning in from anywhere.
Medvedev, who is ranked fifth in the world, previously won the US Open in 2021, marking his first and only Grand Slam win. Sinner, the current world number 1, won his first Grand Slam this year at the 2024 Australian Open. Medvedev leads the duo's head-to-head record 7-5, so they've historically been pretty well-matched. The winner of tonight's match will play the winner of today's Jack Draper vs. Alex de Minaur match in the semi-finals. So far, Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe have advanced to the other semi-final match.
We'll show you all of your watch options today, including how to tune in free from anywhere via a VPN, which we'll detail below. This option should also work for the rest of the tournament, which we break down in our how to watch the US Open streaming guide.
