US Open TV courts

This year there are twelve courts with TV cameras:
  • Arthur Ashe Stadium
  • Louis Armstrong Stadium
  • Grandstand
  • Court 4
  • Court 5
  • Court 6
  • Court 9
  • Court 11
  • Court 12
  • Court 13
  • Court 17
  • Court P6 (Old Grandstand)

Originally Court 10 was supposed to be streamed, but since the surface there appeared to be unplayable, old Grandstand (planned to be out of competitive use and ready only for practices - marked as P6 court) will be used as its replacement, at least in the first week, so ESPN moved their cameras and staff from Court 10 to P6/Old Grandstand.

Coverage from courts 7, 8, 14, 15 and 16 will not be produced.

Excuses, excuses, but we are in 2016, technology should reflect that. If the other 3 slams can manage it, USO why cannot?!?

Talking about ESPN, I see in usopen.org that they do provide Live Stream, but when I clicked it, it is an ESPN3 stream. Do we have to be in the US to access it? Also is it free or not? Because it seems weird adding that live stream if it is paid when you could just access it on the ESPN (although I guess this is a sponsorship I guess which seems kind of a bait to pay stuff :lol:).

Yeah, ESPN is all about the $$$

That sucks that foreigners using VPN's still can't access it.

Conversely, when I got a temporary VPN I was able to access the French Open on French TV and Wimbledon on the BBC. No username/password required.

The BBC viewing was top notch, French TV was pretty good.
