Djokovic and Zverev aren't exactly tennis' best-loved personalities, but there's no doubting their credentials on the court.

17-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic needs no introduction, but facing him is a young man who has long been tipped for the top, even if deeply concerning off-court allegations have cast a shadow over him.

Zverev is expected to kick on this year, having reached his first Grand Slam semi-final and his first Grand Slam final in 2020, and a strong showing from the 23-year-old today would be a huge statement of intent.

Though Djokovic is undoubtedly the favourite, world No. 12 Denis Shapovalov managed to give him a run for his money on Monday, though the Serb ultimately proved too strong and ran out the 7-5, 7-5 winner.

Zverev's singles victory came against the same opponent, a nail-bitingly close 6-7, 6-3, 7-6 comeback win that would have tasted all the sweeter, with Shapovalov having beaten the German at last year's tournament.

Djokovic vs Zverev live stream: how to watch ATP Cup tennis online in the US

In the US, ATP Cup coverage comes courtesy of the <a href="https://tennischanneleverywhere.com/" data-link-merchant="tennischanneleverywhere.com"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tennis Channel. As it's a cable-based service, in order to tune in you need to be a paying customer... or have a good over-the-top streaming service that costs a fraction of the price!

Of the many and varied options, the best for tennis fans is Sling TV. The upcoming Australian Open is being shown on both ESPN and the Tennis Channel and the <a href="https://sling-tv.pxf.io/c/221109/1132376/14334?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&sharedId=hawk&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsling.com%2Fpm%2Faffiliate" data-link-merchant="sling.com"" data-link-merchant="tennischanneleverywhere.com"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sling Orange package with a Sports Extra add-on features both for just $50 a month - but you can get the first month for only $40.

That's much less than the competition and WAY less than cable!

The session starts at 6pm ET/3pm PT on Thursday, but Djokovic vs Zverev will only begin after the conclusion of the first match, which is Krajinovic vs Struff.
