U.S. Open 2017 live stream: How to watch online
By John Buhler
The 2017 U.S. Open will be under way this week, beginning on Monday morning in New York City. Here is how to watch the Grand Slam tennis tournament online.
The 137th playing of the U.S. Open will begin on Monday in New York City. It will begin at 11:00 a.m. ET on Aug. 28 at the UTSA Billie Jean National Tennis Center. ESPN will have the broadcast. The available live streams can be found on WatchESPN and FuboTV.
This is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the 2017 professional tennis season. While the women’s brackets have been crazy with top player Serena Williams out since the spring due to her pregnancy, it has been mostly the Roger Federer show on the men’s side.
Williams, Jelena Ostapenko and Garbine Muguruza won the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon, respectively for the women. Federer won the Australian Open and Wimbledon. His rival Rafael Nadal won the French Open, but that was the major tournament that Federer sat out. At his age, he doesn’t feel clay is good for his feet.
Two of the top men’s players will not be playing in New York for this tournament. Novak Djokovic and last year’s U.S. Open winner Stan Wawrinka are out for the season due to injuries. Djokovic is dealing with an elbow injury, while Wawrinka is battling something with his knee. Last year’s women’s singles winner Angelique Kerber should be in the mix to win it all in New York in the middle part of September.

This is always one of the best tournaments to watch. The courts are hard, the balls are fast and the temperature is running hot in the biggest city in America. It should be an exciting tournament we should all be looking forward to.
