Here how to livestream the US Open Tennis finals, in case looking to see Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic and finding "love" (meaning zero in tennis) ways to watch it online.
In the US, there are two ways to watch it on a computer, and one central app to view US Open live stream on mobile devices. They're all "free," if you already pay for cable or have a friend's login.
In the UK, Sky is the limit, with control over both the television broadcast rights and live streaming video via the network's Sky Go iPad, iPhone and Android app.
The live video is essential coming from the same source for all destinations, Disney's ESPN network, specifically EPSN3. There are multiple cameras, depending on your choice.
If you're tuning in on a television, you want to head to ESPN3. But, if you're trying to watch Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic online, check out one of the three options below.
Watch it on official US Open Tennis website
Tennis has been live streaming on the official US Open website for nearly two weeks now, with epic matches leading up to today's men's finals.
It, like all live streaming options for this tennis tournament, requires an authenticated cable or satellite subscription, so logging in is required.
The good news is that it's a direct feed from WatchESPN, aka ESPN3. To get to the right video, make sure you look for "Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic" on the playlist. Otherwise. you'll be matching a not-so-exciting juniors match.
The live stream is a bit buggy at times, with random online commercials that like to play overtop of the match at random times (you can still hear the ball going back and forth). They're not pre-roll or post roll, they're mid-roll, and that's annoying in any championship tennis match.
Looking for live tennis coverage in the UK? Head on over to Sky's website so that you're not region locked by Disney US-focused tennis coverage.
Watch US Open finals on ESPN3
You may have better luck watching the US Open finals via the ESPN3 website, which includes multiple cameras through tennis sponsorships from Chase Bank and Mercedes-Benz.
Want to see the US Open Finals free of such advertising? Look for the standard video Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic title in the video playlist. That's where the normal broadcast is being streamed.
Watch US Open on an iPhone or Android
Although the official US Open Tennis app doesn't live stream matches, look for the "WatchESPN" app in either Apple or Google's respective app stores.
The ongoing tennis match is live streaming here, although you'll need cable credentials to make the video work here, too.
No, none of the options are free for 100% cord cutters, as we are finding with a lot of live streaming events. From the MTV VMAs to the Presidential Debate, you need to make friends with someone who still owns a cable subscription.
Same thing goes for the UK's Sky Go app, which is currently streaming the Roger Federer vs Novak Djokovic as the match heads into its finals sets.
