US Open 2023: How to watch the Semifinals, where to stream free, full TV schedule and more
Tennis fans, the last Grand Slam of the season is nearing its final matches. The 2023 US Open concludes this weekend with the Finals at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. In a shock to the women's competition, many of the US Open’s top women’s seeds have fallen before the Quarterfinals even began, including last year's defending champion Iga Swiatek, No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula and No. 5 seed Ons Jabeur. But US star and No. 6 seed Coco Gauff has made it into the Women's Finals against Aryna Sabalenka.
On the men's side, unseeded 20-year-old American Ben Shelton faces Novak Djokovic this afternoon after defeating fellow American and world No. 10 Frances Tiafoe 6-2 3-6 7-6(7) 6-2. 2022 defending champion Carlos Alcaraz continues on his collision course towards Djokovic tonight when he faces Daniil Medevedev in the Semifinals.
