US Open men’s final LIVE: Start time, schedule and how to follow showpiece match

The US Open men’s singles final is set to take place this weekend and a new champion will be crowned in Flushing Meadows. 

Last year’s winner Novak Djokovic made a shock third-round exit which means he will have to surrender his title this time around. 

Djokovic’s elimination came after Carlos Alcaraz’s unexpected exit, with two of the world’s best tennis superstars being sent home early. 

It leaves World No.1 Jannik Sinner as the favourite but he will be challenged by Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and Grigor Dimitrov.

Brit Jack Draper is also a contender as he aims to pull off an incredible feat by continuing his dream US Open campaign so far.

US Open men’s final: What has been said?

Djokovic was incredibly knocked out by Alexei Popyrin and he wasn’t happy with the quality of tennis he put on show in New York. 

The four-time US Open winner admitted: “Congrats to him [Popyrin] and his team. He played better and deserved to win. 

“Honestly with the way I felt and played from the start of the tournament…round three is a success!

“I played some of the worst tennis I’ve ever played. Serving by far some of the worst ever. 

“On a quick surface like this, you can’t win without a serve. You can’t win against the guys who are in form like Alexei. 

“It was just an awful match from me.”
