The 2021 U.S. Open kicks off the year’s last tennis major. From August 30 to September 12, the world’s top players will play under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. And after restricting attendance last year, the U.S. Open is open once again to fans in the stands.
2021 U.S. Open dates, times
The 2021 U.S. Open live streams begin Monday, August 30.
► Time: 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. ET / 8 a.m. PT
• U.S. — Watch on ESPN networks via Sling or Fubo.TV, and ESPN Plus.
• U.K. — Watch on Amazon Prime Video.
The men’s draw is missing several big stars, as both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are out with injuries. Defending champ Dominic Thiem is also absent due to a wrist injury.
The main storyline, of course, will be whether No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic passes Nadal and Federer for the most Grand Slam titles in history. He won his 20th major at Wimbledon, tying him with the rivals. And by winning the U.S. Open, he would also complete the calendar year Grand Slam, since he already triumphed at the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon.
On the women’s side, Serena Williams continues to be out with the hamstring injury that precluded her involvement in the Olympics. Ashleigh Barty and Naomi Osaka are the favorites in the draw.
