The 2022 U.S. Open Tennis Championships started this week and the competition is well underway. Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams already secured their spots in the second round, with the latter being honored with a particularly emotional tribute ceremony on Monday in light of her decision to retire from tennis after this tournament. Notably, Serena plays for a chance to advance tonight at 7 p.m. ET, facing off against the number-two seed, Anett Kontaveit of Estonia.
With COVID-19 restrictions still somewhat in place but less severe than in previous years, the stands are expected to be packed through September 11th. Although you might not be able to watch the matches in person, you can still enjoy watching your favorite players slice and dice at home. With easy ways to stream the cutthroat competition, you can spot top-seeded players like defending champions Daniil Medvedev and Emma Raducanu and beloved favorites Venus Williams, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. Top players Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will both be absent from the competition this year.
