I'm ready to watch the tennis matches at the Tokyo Olympics. The singles gold medal match is coming up, but before we get to that, we have to issue a serious spoiler warning for those who haven't seen Friday's match.
Yes, in the live stream of Novak Djokovic vs. Alexander Zverev, the world No. 1 was suffering from a bit of fatigue. In fact, Djokovic lost (since May) and is now looking for the bronze medal in today's Novak Djokovic vs. Pablo Carreno Busta live stream.
This also means no Golden Slam and no history alongside Steffi Graf. Djokovic can win a maximum of four Grand Slam titles this year.
On the women's side, the bronze and gold medal matches will take place today. The bronze medal will be won by either Belinda Bencic (Switzerland) or Marketa Bondrsova (Czech Republic).
The mixed doubles and women's doubles bronze medal matches will also be played today, with the respective gold medal matches scheduled for Sunday (August 1), as will the men's singles gold medal match between Zverev and Karen Khachanov (ROC).
Among the services needed for these matches, Peacock will help you watch highlights at night, and Sling TV and Fubo TV will help you catch the matches on tape delay.
The Olympics are a global event and can be seen in almost every country on earth. However, if you are not in your home country and cannot watch the Tokyo Olympics tennis matches on your usual service, or if you prefer to watch in your native language, you are not out of luck.
With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you are surfing the net from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by power outages) and access the same streaming services you are already paying for. a VPN is completely legal, inexpensive, and easy to use.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there.
The VPN is incredibly easy to use.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app. For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select UK from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Go to your favorite website or streaming service and tune in.
If you want to watch the Tokyo Olympics tennis matches live, you'll need to stay up late (the live schedule is below) and log in to NBCOlympics.com, which requires a cable TV login. Those who don't want to cut into their sleep will be watching tape-delayed games on the Olympic Channel, NBC SN, and USA Network.
Of course, Peacock's nightly coverage will also include updates.
The Olympic channel is part of Sling TV's Sports Extra package (an additional $11/month), and Olympic watchers will want the Blue package, which also has NBC, USA, and NBC SN.
Sling is one of the best streaming services, along with the other streaming services we recommend for Olympic viewing: Fubo TV has over 100 channels (more than Sling), including all of the above networks.
BBC iPlayer is a dependable source for all Olympic coverage for people in the UK, but it does not cover all of these games. The biggest highlight in their comprehensive guide is the women's tennis singles final on Saturday, July 31 at 6 am BST.
This year, however, the BBC will not dominate Olympic coverage in the UK, as the IOC has sold its major European broadcast rights to the Discovery Network. As a result, the BBC's coverage, while still good, is now limited to no more than two live broadcasts at a time.
To watch all the competitions live, we recommend subscribing instead to Discovery Plus, which will provide coverage of all Tokyo 2020 events; Discovery is currently offering a three-day free trial of this service, after which it will cost £6.99 per month or £29.99 per year. A full subscription is available for £6.99 per month or £29.99 per year. In addition, the service can be streamed through a number of devices, including Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV, and apps for iOS and Android
Americans abroad can log in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN, they can use any service they like.
Again, details are scarce; Sportsnet, CBC, and TSN are sharing coverage of the Olympics.
Tennis will be broadcast on Sportsnet and SN1 from midnight to 6 am.
Again, Americans can use services such as Peacock, Sling, and Fubo by logging in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.
