Taylor Fritz faces Jannik Sinner in the men's final

Aryna Sabalenka put the disappointment of last year's final behind her as she held off a spirited fight back from home hope Jessica Pegula to win the U.S. Open title for the first time. The second seed clinched a 7-5 7-5 victory to win a third Grand Slam and claim a staggering $3.6m in prize money.

How to watch US Open 2024 live streams in the UK and Europe
While many public and national TV broadcasters have the TV and live stream rights to the US Open 2024 in Europe, in the UK it is Sky Sports which holds the broadcasting rights to the tennis event.
You'll be able to watch coverage via its online platform or its premium live TV channels. If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £22/month to add those channels.
Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, as long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.
Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.
If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £14.99 or month-long access for £34.99.
