The 2017 US Open is in full swing and there are plenty of ways you can watch the US Open live online for free.
If you’ve been paying attention to the coverage, you know there have been some action-packed matches already in the early rounds.
During Day 3 of the US Open, five-time US Open champion Roger Federer was taken to the fifth set by 19-year-old Frances Tiafoe. It would have been one of the biggest upsets in US Open history if Federer had lost.
Even though six-time US Open champion Serena Williams is not participating in this year’s tournament because she’s busy being a mother-to-be, there are plenty of players to watch in the women’s division and it should be interesting to see who will take home a title this year. Venus Williams defeated Viktoria Kuzmova to move on the next round and is set to play Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Many of the tennis matches are scheduled early in the day, making it tough to watch if you’re busy working.
Fortunately, you can keep up with the action by watching free live streams, replays and highlights of US Open matches online so you’re not missing any of the action.
