The US Open 2024 tennis tournament will commence on Monday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. This prestigious event marks the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, celebrating its 144th edition, and it will be accessible for live streaming and broadcasting across Australia.

For this year’s tournament, Australia has a notable representation with a total of twenty tennis players, which includes twelve men and eight women. This marks the largest contingent for Australia at the US Open in 45 years, equalling the representation from the 1979 tournament where fourteen men and six women participated. Among these competitors, World No. 10 Alex de Minaur and World No. 28 Alexei Popyrin will lead the Australian charge. Notably, Alex de Minaur stands as the highest-seeded Australian man at the US Open in nineteen years and will face World No. 46 Marcos Giron from the United States in his opening match, marking his return to singles competition following a hip injury that affected his performance at Wimbledon.

Alexei Popyrin will also make his mark, as this is the first instance that he has been seeded in a Grand Slam tournament, thanks to his recent ATP Masters 1000 title victory in Montreal. Nonetheless, he may encounter a challenging third-round match against defending champion Novak Djokovic from Serbia.

In the men’s singles, an interesting all-Australian match-up will feature Max Purcell against Aleksandar Vukic in their first-round clash. Australia’s representation extends to the women’s singles, where eight female players will compete. Among them, World No. 93 Daria Saville and World No. 119 Ajla Tomljanovic are set to face opponents emerging from the qualifying rounds. Eighteen-year-old Taylah Preston will be making her debut in the US Open main draw, having earned a wildcard entry.

Meanwhile, qualifiers Destanee Aiava and Priscilla Hon are set for formidable matches against top players Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka, respectively, while Kimberly Birrell will compete against the silver medalist from the Paris 2024 Olympics, Donna Vekic of Croatia.

In the men’s doubles bracket, attention will focus on Matthew Ebden, the reigning Australian Open champion and Paris 2024 Olympics winner, who will partner with Indian player Rohan Bopanna. They have earned the second seed, following Marcel Granollers and his Argentine partner Horacio Zeballos. Notably, Ebden and Bopanna reached the US Open final last year but fell short to Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury.

For Australian viewers, the US Open 2024 will be broadcast live on Channel 9, with live streaming available through the 9Now app and website. This tournament promises to deliver exhilarating matches as Australia’s finest players strive for success on the global stage.

In summary, the US Open 2024 stands as a significant event in the tennis calendar, especially for Australian participants, with a strong contingent ready to compete.
