The day began with long lines outside the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Some fans carried umbrellas against the September heat, others leaned on the railings of Arthur Ashe with cups of iced coffee. Day 9 of the US Open had arrived, and the draw served up clashes too good to ignore.
The crowd spoke in dozens of languages, but one match dominated every conversation. Coco Gauff versus Naomi Osaka. Old against new, except both were still young by any normal measure. The rest of the schedule was stacked too, yet all roads led to that moment.

New York’s late summer air carried a weight of humidity that never quite left. That didn’t stop the players or the fans. The schedule promised action across the main courts and smaller arenas, filling every corner of Flushing Meadows with noise. Each stadium had its own rhythm: the roar of Ashe, the restless chants of Armstrong, the intimacy of the Grandstand.

Broadcast & Streaming Details – Where to Watch?
Across Arab countries, tennis fans planned their evenings around the timings. BeIN Sports carried the coverage live, making sure every serve and rally reached living rooms in Riyadh, Cairo, and Dubai.
For many, it was the sweet spot of time: late evening, when work was behind and families gathered. Conversations over tea shifted toward predictions. Who would take the edge, Gauff or Osaka? It was more than sport, it was a shared routine.
Streaming added another layer. Fans kept matches running on their phones in cafes, the commentary humming under the clatter of cups. In Beirut, screens glowed behind bakery counters while bread rolled off ovens.
In Amman, the echoes of Arabic commentary drifted out of open shops as shopkeepers leaned toward their radios. The game traveled farther than the court, carried by the reach of television and the patience of fans who stayed awake into the night.
Feature Match: Gauff vs Osaka
The pairing pulled the kind of attention usually reserved for finals. Naomi Osaka returned to the same court where she lifted trophies in 2018 and 2020, trying to recover the form that once made her nearly untouchable. Across the net stood Coco Gauff, the third seed, full of speed and confidence, still only 21 but carrying the aura of a champion.
Their shared past made the match more than another round of 16 meeting. Six years ago, Osaka embraced a tearful teenage Gauff on this very court. That memory still lingers, replayed in highlights and documentaries.
This time, there were no tears. Gauff entered as favorite, Osaka as challenger. The mood was electric. Osaka’s serve cracked like thunder in the sticky afternoon air. Gauff slid across the baseline with the sharpness of a sprinter. Every point felt like a duel, the crowd leaning forward with each shot. Nobody wanted to miss a second, not even to grab a drink.
Broadcast & Viewing Information
The match beamed across the world on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC, with Arab coverage centered on beIN Sports. Studio panels switched between live breakdowns and replay packages, showing fans slow-motion views of Gauff’s passing shots or Osaka’s heavy forehands.
The split between live viewing and replay access mattered for audiences in Cairo, Doha, and Jeddah, where late-night schedules are not always forgiving. The coverage gave choices: watch it unfold in real time, or catch every rally the next morning without missing a detail. Either way, the Open felt closer, the crowd noise spilling through the screens into homes thousands of kilometers away.
Key Storylines & Context
By the end of Day 9, questions filled the air. Could Gauff turn her rise into dominance? Would Osaka find enough to rekindle her past magic? Was Sinner ready to stamp his authority? These are the threads that keep people watching, even when sleep calls and work looms.
The Open thrives on unpredictability, and on this Monday, every match pushed the story further. The crowd walked out under the glow of stadium lights, tired but satisfied. Tomorrow, another chapter.
