At a Glance: How to Stream Sinner vs Zverev

Sinner is looking to secure back-to-back Australian Open titles following his victory over rising American tennis star Ben Shelton in the semi-finals. Number two-ranked Alexander Zverev advanced to the final following Novak Djokovic’s early exit from the match due to injury.

Zverev is seeking his first Grand Slam singles title, having previously reached the final at the 2024 French Open and the 2020 US Open. Given the time zone difference, American fans looking to stream the match live will have to wake up bright and early or stay up late, but ESPN2 will be carrying replays of the match at primetime.
