Get ready, tennis fans. The 2023 US Open kicks off at 1:00am AEST Tuesday morning, and there’s only one place to catch every serve—Stan Sport.
They’re delivering 14 consecutive days of tennis, live and ad-free, with the option to relive the matches on demand.
Stan Sport is setting the bar high with centre court footage in breathtaking 4K UHD. If you don’t have a Stan subscription, selected match coverage will be available on 9Go! and 9Gem.
The men’s singles draw is ripe with suspense. Carlos Alcaraz, the world’s top-ranked player, is pitted against second-ranked Novak Djokovic in a fierce rivalry that’s captured global attention. Their performances at the US Open could determine who ends the year atop the ATP rankings.
In their recent battles, Alcaraz and Djokovic have clashed on different surfaces—clay at Roland-Garros and grass at Wimbledon. Could they meet again on Flushing Meadows’ hard courts? Time will tell.
On the home front, Aussie Alex de Minaur has hit peak form. With a career-high ATP ranking of 12, he’s a dark horse worth keeping an eye on. He’s no stranger to the US Open either, having reached the quarter-finals in previous years.
Ajla Tomljanovic makes her comeback after a season plagued by a knee injury. Last year, she had an electrifying US Open run, which included ending Serena Williams’ storied career. Seeded at 130, she’s the underdog with a point to prove.
Women’s tennis also offers a duel for supremacy. Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka are the leading ladies to watch as they compete for the number one position.
Several other Australians are gracing the main draw. Joining de Minaur and Tomljanovic are Thanasi Kokkinakis, Jordan Thompson, Jason Kubler, Daria Saville, Max Purcell, Alexei Popyrin, Chris O’Connell, and Aleksander Vukic. Wildcards Storm Hunter and Rinky Hijikata add to the Aussie brigade.
For those wanting in-depth analysis and interviews, tune in to Grand Slam Daily at 2:30pm AEST. Hosted by Chris Stubbs and Wally Masur, the show will also feature updates from reporter Duncan McKenzie-McHarg at Flushing Meadows.
