2020 US Open Live Stream: schedule, channels, start time, etc.

It's game, set, match as we watch the live stream of the 2020 U.S. Open. The two-week tournament is almost over and some great matches have been played, including a tough loss to Serena Williams, who just missed tying Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam titles again. But the live stream of the U.S. Open women's final between Naomi Osaka and Victoria Azarenka is still a must-watch match.

On the men's side, it's Dominic Thiem vs. Alexander Zverev in the men's final on Sunday.

At this year's U.S. Open, men's top seed Novak Djokovic hit a tennis ball and accidentally hit the line judge, resulting in an unexpected no-show. He was disqualified for recklessly hitting the ball.

The 2020 U.S. Open will be the second major tournament to be held this year, after the Australian Open in February. The French Open was postponed and Wimbledon was cancelled due to a coronavirus pandemic.

This year's tournament will look very different from past tournaments held at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. When players arrived on the bubble, they had to undergo two coronavirus tests within 48 hours.

The entire event is socially distanced. The only spectators are members of the players' teams. An automated line judgment system called Hawk-Eye is used on all courts except Arthur Ashe Stadium and Louis Armstrong Stadium. The number of ball kids is limited (not even children, but adults over the age of 18). Players must also provide their own towels to wipe their sweat.

On the men's side, neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal are entered. Federer is still recovering from knee surgery, while Rafael has been sidelined, citing concerns about the coronavirus.

This made top seed Novak Djokovic the favorite to win his 18th Grand Slam.

He was declared in default by the referee and tournament officials. Djokovic later apologized to the line judge on Instagram.
