2024 US Open

The 2024 United States Open runs from August 26 to September 8 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the New York City borough of Queens. It is the 144th edition of the tournament,

ESPN holds the U.S. TV rights, which they have had since 2009 in some form and have held exclusively since 2015. Linear coverage airs on ESPN and ESPN2, with ABC airing three hours on the middle Sunday and the men's singles final on the final Sunday. All of the matches are available on ESPN+.

The tournament is held over 17 courts. Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest tennis-specific stadium in the world at 23,771 seats. Louis Armstrong Stadium has a capacity of just over 14,000 seats, followed by the Grandstand at 8,125 and Court 17 at 2,800. The remaining courts are creatively numbered 4-16.

The defending singles champions are Novak Djokovic of Serbia on the men's side and Coco Gauff of the USA on the women's. Djokovic is the #2 seed, behind Jannik Sinner of Italy, and Gauff is the #3 seed behind Iga Swiatek of Poland and Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus. As they have been for most of the past three seasons, Russian and Belarussian players are competing independently of their countries.

Draws include men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, mixed doubles, junior boys and girls singles and doubles, and several legends events. The wheelchair events are not being held in 2024 because the event overlaps with the Paralympic Games in Paris.

Broadcast schedule

ESPN+ has all 17 courts streaming live daily from the beginning of play (11 a.m. EDT) to the end of play. Also, note that ESPN uses 11 p.m. as a placeholder for the end of play; in practice, play is rarely over by then.

Chaos theory

The rules for filling spaces created by withdrawing players are as follows.

  • If a seeded player withdraws before the draw, all lower seeds slide up one line.and the top unseeded player becomes the #32 seed. One of the players who lost in the final round of qualifying becomes a "lucky loser" and receives a spot in the main draw.
  • If an unseeded player withdraws, a lucky loser gets their spot in the draw.
  • If a top-four seed withdraws after the draw but before the initial order of play is released, the #5 seed fills that opening, while the #17 seed takes the #5 seed's place. The top unseeded player becomes a #33 seed and goes in the spot vacated by the #17 seed, and that unseeded player's original place is taken by the lucky loser. If a player seeded 5-16 withdraws, the #17 seed and #33 seeds cascade up as described previously with the lucky loser replacing the #33 seed.
  • Once the order of play for the first day is released, any player who withdraws before the first ball of their match is simply replaced by a lucky loser.
  • A player who has started their first match of the tournament and withdraws is not replaced: their opponent advances.

Conventions

The color-coded schedule graphics below are based on an average set length of 40 minutes; a best-of-three match is blocked at an hour and 40 minutes while a best-of-five match is 2:45, based on the likelihood of multiple sets if each set is a coin flip. Suspended matches are prorated based on the score when they are stopped.

Each match's position on the draw is indicated by a number in double square brackets. Each pair of matches with the same number meets in the next round; these numbers start with 1 at the top of the draw and proceed down the list. For example, there are 32 second-round matches, so the last pair of first-round matches is marked with a 32.

In the text listing of commentators, each match is numbered sequentially when it first appears. Brief updates on other matches are indented. Angle brackets indicate split-screen coverage.
