By Jessie N. Wilson On Jun 7, 2023

The US Open 2022 belongs to the underdogs. Whatever happens at Flushing Meadows today, we are guaranteed to have a first Grand Slam title, but will it be Casper Ruud of Norway or Carlos Alcaraz of Spain? And if the stakes weren’t high enough already, the winner will also become the new world No. The national anthem was sung, the players warmed up and it was the turn of the two male finalists. Here’s how to watch a Ruud vs Alcaraz live stream wherever you are today – including ways to watch the US Open final absolutely FREE.

Carlos Alcaraz is a young man in a hurry and, at the age of 19, he is on the verge of not only winning his first grand slam, but also becoming the youngest men’s world No. Pepperstone ATP rankings in 1973. The Spaniard shed more sweat and lost more sleep than anyone at Flushing Meadows this week, having gone through back-to-back late-night epics in five sets against Marin Cilic, Jannik Sinner and the home hope Frances Tiafoe.

Casper Ruud, 23, reached his first Grand Slam final earlier this year but few expected him to return to the top so soon. He has nine ATP championships to his name, three of which have been won this season. However, each of them is an ATP 250 title. Winning the 2022 US Open would be by far the greatest 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.

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