The US Open quarterfinals have kicked off, propelling the tournament into its final week. We’ve put together everything you need to know about how to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz, including free streaming options.
Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz will square off in the 2025 US Open quarterfinals, a repeat of their 2023 US Open QF match-up. Djokovic won that match in straight sets (and went on to win the entire tournament that year). He also holds a 10-0 lead in their head-to-head history, with their most recent match-ups coming at the 2024 Australian Open and 2024 Shanghai Masters. They’ve yet to face off professionally this year. Fritz, an American, is currently ranked No. 4 in the world, while Djokovic, of Serbia, sits at No. 7.
Whether you’re rooting for a Fritz upset or you’re hoping to see Djokovic make it back to the semis and final, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading to learn the best global streaming services for today’s match, including how to access your watch options from anywhere via VPN.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz for free

How to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz from anywhere
If you’re away from Australia right now, you can still tune into your free streaming option with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy tech tools that allow you to change your virtual location so your go-to websites and apps work from anywhere. They’re popular services for those hoping to keep up with their usual services while traveling abroad or looking to upgrade their cybersecurity.
NordVPN is our top recommendation. It’s a user-friendly option (even for beginners) and has an impressive suite of cybersecurity features. Plus, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it’s not what you’re looking for. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
NordVPN Plan
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz in the US
ESPN (via ESPN, ABC, and other related networks) is the broadcast home of the US Open in the United States. Matches will be available in full through the new ESPN streaming service. Plans range from $12 a month for ESPN Select to $30 a month for ESPN Unlimited. Annual versions are also available.
Both tiers should have US Open coverage, but Unlimited unlocks lots of extra coverage and full live streams from flagship networks. You can learn more in our ESPN streaming service guide and check out a limited-time deal when you bundle ESPN Unlimited with Disney Plus and Hulu. However, if you’re only interested in the US Open, then ESPN Select will do the trick.
ESPN Select
ESPN Select, formerly ESPN Plus, offers select coverage from ESPN properties. While it doesn’t have a direct live stream of ESPN networks, like the Unlimited plan, it still offers around 32,000 live sporting events each year.
If you’re looking for an even more comprehensive sports streaming option, a month-to-month live TV streaming service such as DirecTV or Fubo can help. DirecTV MySports, the service’s new genre pack, includes 20+ popular sports channels traditionally found in cable packages and access to the ESPN streaming service app. Subscriptions cost $70 a month and come with a five-day free trial for new customers. Right now, users can also get $10 a month off their first two months of service.
DirecTV MySports
DirecTV’s MySports pack carries popular sports channels, from mainstays like ESPN to niche offerings like the ACC Network.
Fubo is another solid sports-friendly live TV streaming service with access to ABC and all of the necessary ESPN networks, in addition to more than 200 other live channels. Subscribing to Fubo will also unlock access to the new ESPN Unlimited app. Fubo Pro subscriptions start at $85 a month (plus a little bit more with required regional sports fees), but new users can get $30 off their first month of service after a five-day free trial. There’s also a brand-new Fubo Sports package, which costs $56 a month, although it’s only available in select markets right now.
Fubo Pro
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it’ll cost you extra.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz in the UK
The US Open will be available through Sky Sports in the UK. Subscription prices vary depending on which bundle and long-term contract you sign up for, but the cheapest plans with Sky Sports start at £35 a month. You can learn more in our guide to the best Sky TV deals and plans. There’s also an option to stream Sky Sports through Now, which offers some additional plan flexibility.
How to watch Djokovic vs. Fritz in Australia
9Now will live stream the select US Open matches, including this quarterfinal match, in Australia. This is a free streaming option; fans just need to create an account if they don’t already have one.
