MONUMENTAL MATCHUPS SET FOR GRAND SLAM SHOWDOWNS AT REVAMPED US OPEN ON EUROSPORT AND HBO MAX

18 August 2025

  • Lesly Boitrelle to present on-site coverage from Flushing Meadows, New York alongside former US Open champions John McEnroe, Mats Wilander and Justine Henin

The US Open is set to redefine the Grand Slam season with the sport’s biggest superstars set to clash in the mixed doubles event ahead of the main singles draw, with every court covered throughout the tournament by Eurosport and HBO Max in 45 markets in Europe.

Eurosport will broadcast at least 260 hours of live television coverage while HBO Max will provide a front row seat at Flushing Meadows with uncompromising streaming coverage of every match played. In-app innovations including multi-language commentary streams and timeline markers, which ensure fans never miss a key moment, will supercharge the streaming experience. Viewers in France can also enjoy a new multi-screen viewing experience through HBO Max which provides access to four matches similtaneously for the first time.

In the Nordics, WBD will utilise its network of free-to-air channels to broadcast the singles finals live through Kanal 9 (Sweden); TV5 (Finland); Rex (Norway) which will also show Casper Ruud’s matches for free; and in Denmark with the singles finals on 6’eren and matches featuring Danish players appearing on Kanal 5.

Two legends of the sport and former US Open champions - John McEnroe and Mats Wilander - will join accomplished presenter Lesly Boitrelle to front Eurosport’s on-site multi-market coverage each day from the iconic the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center at Flushing Meadows. They will be joined by two-time winner Justine Henin who will regularly contribute from Paris in addition to reporting for the ‘Eurosport Tennis Club’ for viewers in France. Together, they will offer fresh perspectives, exclusive player interviews and expert analysis to help tell the stories of the players and tournament for viewers in Europe.

Scott Young, EVP at WBD Sports Europe, said: “The US Open caps an epic summer of tennis which has been dominated by the greatest champions who have elevated the sport to new and unthinkable levels.

“This year, there will be more chances to engage fans than ever before with the innovative mixed doubles tournament set to bring fresh energy and excitement ahead of the main singles draw while creating new storytelling opportunities for fans. We will be there for every rally and every point through our comprehensive coverage across all platforms and look forward to new tennis history being made.”

Amplifying its live coverage, WBD’s suite of local language social media and digital platforms will bring US Open content to even more fans across Europe. This includes storytelling through local editorial and analysis on Eurosport.com, daily extended highlights playing for free on YouTube in seven languages, and other behind-the-scenes content covering every aspect of the tournament.

Known for its game-changing approach, the US Open has introduced a revamped mixed doubles tournament in 2025, offering a coveted $1 million prize pot for one of 16 winning teams. Matches take place over two days from 19-20 August during Fan Week and ahead of the main singles draw. Best of three set matches will be played with no advantage system and shorter four game sets, with tiebreaks at four games all and a 10-point tiebreak to determine the deciding set. Blockbuster pairings confirmed to take part include Iga Swiatek (Poland) and Casper Ruud (Norway); Kateřina Siniaková (Czechia) and Jannik Sinner (Italy); Emma Raducanu (UK) and Carlos Alcaraz (Spain); Venus Williams (USA) and Reilly Opelka (USA) alongside many more star-studded matchups.

Regarding the men’s singles draw, the previous seven Grand Slams have been won by the world number one Jannik Sinner (Italy) or world number two Carlos Alcaraz (Spain), including back-to-back finals featuring both players at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon this year. In the women’s draw, the world number one Aryna Sabalenka is looking to defend her US Open title, which she won for the first time last year.

The US Open continues WBD’s summer of tennis following its exclusive and record-breaking coverage of Roland-Garros (excluding France), Wimbledon in 12 markets and ahead of its exclusive coverage of the Laver Cup across Europe, taking place in San Francisco, USA from 19-21 September.
