ESPN’s exclusive coverage of the US Open continues tomorrow, Friday, Sept. 8, with the Men’s Semifinals. ESPN, ESPN Deportes (Spanish) and ESPN+ (English and Spanish) will present first-ball-to-last-ball action, beginning at 3 p.m. ET/ noon PT and continuing through end of play.

The second match features No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz vs. No. 3 Daniil Medvedev. Both are former US Open champions from 2022 and 2021, respectively. They are the top two players in the win column in 2023 — 58 for 20-year-old Alcaraz and 54 for 27-year-old Medvedev.
Beginning at noon on ESPN2, the Men’s Doubles Championship will be decided between Rajeev Ram of the United States and Joe Salisbury of the U.K. vs. Rohan Bopanna of India and Matthew Ebden of Australia.
In addition to the Men’s Semifinals, ESPN+ coverage includes Grandstand matches and all outer courts throughout the week. ESPN+ coverage began with the Qualifiers, and continues through the entirety of the tournament, including coverage of the Women’s and Men’s Singles Semifinals and Finals.
