How to watch Sinner vs. Alcaraz live streams from anywhere
Tennis fans don't need to miss out on the final just because they're traveling away from home. You can keep up with all of your usual services and apps from abroad with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs let users change their virtual locations so that their devices can access their usual websites from anywhere, just like they would back home. This option will work best for those who are simply traveling away from home at the moment, since the services we've recommended require country-specific methods of payment.
NordVPN is currently our top recommendation. It's one of the top VPNs on the market and has an impressive set of cybersecurity features, in addition to a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find it's not what you're looking for. Users can subscribe month-to-month or try one or two-year-long contracts, which offer savings year over year. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.
How to use a VPN
Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
Install it on the device you're using to watch.
Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service.
Navigate to your streaming service and create an account if you don't already have one.
Enjoy the match.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

Kei Nishikori will miss the US Open because of a back injury
NEW YORK (AP) — Kei Nishikori withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday, saying a back injury has not fully healed. Nishikori was injured in May and pulled out of the French Open. The 2014 U.S. Open runner-up from Japan returned earlier this month for a first-round loss in Cincinnati but said his back isn't healthy enough to play in New York. 'Hi fans, unfortunately I will not be ready for the U.S. Open yet. I had an MRI taken of my back and it's not 100% healed yet,' Nishikori wrote in a social media post. 'Working hard to be back on court soon. Thanks for the support.' Nishikori was ranked No. 4 in 2015, the highest by an Asian men's player but has struggled with injuries in recent years and has fallen to No. 88. He missed the entire 2022 season after a hip injury. ___

Coco Gauff shockingly fires coaches right before 2025 US Open
American tennis star Coco Gauff has parted ways with her coaches Matt Daly and J.C. Faurel and brought on biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan, according to multiple reports. Gauff, 21, who has struggled with her serve since her first-round defeat at Wimbledon last month, made the coaching shift days before the start of the first round at the U.S. Open. MacMillan previously worked with current world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to fix her serve and founded the Sport Science Lab — a company that specializes in sports performance, physical rehabilitation and general fitness. Advertisement Coco Gauff in action against Jasmine Paolini of Italy in the quarter-final on Day 9 of the Cincinnati Open at Lindner Family Tennis Center on August 15, 2025 in Mason, Ohio Getty Images MacMillan was on the court as Gauff was hitting with Ukraine's Elina Svitolina at Arthur Ashe Stadium Wednesday morning. 'A lot of things add up and this could be a really good relationship,' ESPN's Darren Cahill said of MacMillan. 'He's very thorough … I've spoken to him many, many times before and the fact that he's got experience with different athletes from different sports, both male and female, he uses the new technology, he goes to the video a lot, really breaks down the biomechanics.' Advertisement Gauff's coaching shakeup comes after she has struggled with her serve throughout most of the year. She is coming off a quarterfinal loss at the Cincinnati Open to Italy's Jasmine Paolini in straight sets, in which the two-time Grand Slam winner hit 62 unforced errors.

Gauff won the French Open in May.
