Ruud vs Alcaraz live stream: how to watch US Open tennis final online from anywhere

[ad_1]

US Open 2022 belongs to the underdogs. Whatever unfolds at Flushing Meadows today, we’re guaranteed a first time grand slam champion, but will it be Norway’s Casper Ruud or Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz? And if the Stakes weren’t already high enough, the Winner will also become the new world No.1. It’s the final match of the final grand slam of the year, so read on as we explain how to watch a Ruud vs Alcaraz live stream wherever you are today – including ways to watch the US Open final absolutely FREE.

Forget the next-gen. Next-next-gen starlet Alcaraz is a young man in a hurry, and at the age of 19 stands on the verge of not only winning his first grand slam but also becoming the youngest men’s world No.1 since the introduction of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings system in 1973. The Spaniard has shed more sweat and lost more sleep than anyone at Flushing Meadows this week, having come through back-to-back-to-back late-night, five-set epics against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner and home Hopeful Frances Tiafoe.

Twenty-three-year-old Casper Ruud reached his first grand slam final earlier this year, but few expected to see him return to the top table so soon. He has nine ATP Championships to his name, three of which were secured this season. However, every single one of them is an ATP 250 title. Winning the 2022 US Open would be by some distance the biggest triumph of his career, and would establish Ruud’s place at the forefront of the so-called best of the rest, behind Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

Sunday night is going to be electric. Which player will lead us in to the next generation of men’s tennis? Here’s how to see a Ruud vs Alcaraz live stream and watch the US Open 2022 from wherever you are in the world.
