A last-16 tie you won’t want to miss, with a start no earlier than 10.30pm
Arthur Gea is the last French player standing in New York. He is 21, a lucky loser after a defeat in the final round of qualifying, and somehow he is already through to the last 16 at the US Open. No Frenchman had gone that far in a Grand Slam this season, and the last player to reach the second week in New York at such a young age was Richard Gasquet, two decades ago.
Standing in his way is Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp, a quarter-finalist at Flushing Meadows in 2021. The match will be played on Grandstand and is due to start no earlier than 10.30pm in France, which is 4.30pm in New York. That slot depends on how long the matches scheduled before it on the same court run on for: if they drag, so does the wait. A place in the quarter-finals is the prize, and that would be uncharted territory for Gea.

Eurosport keeps hold of the second week
In France, Eurosport has the tournament from the first round all the way to the final. So the last-16 clash will be shown on the group’s channels, with a possible switch between Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 depending on how the other courts are moving. On the digital side, Max includes those channels, while Canal+ customers who have Eurosport in their package can watch via myCanal.
Schedule subject to change by the tournament organisers or broadcaster.
