Whether you're rooting for Rafa, Federer or Roddick, broadcasters are pretty much guaranteeing you won't have an excuse to miss this year's 2010 U.S. Open tennis tournament, which begins today and ends September 12th. According to Paid Content, fans
can view about 200 matches of this year's tournament, totaling about 600 hours, for free on the Web. The best place to start is
the official U.S. Open site, where you'll find live-streaming matches from five different courts as well as an impressive interface that lets you pull up live match stats and quickly jump between video of the main courts. The HTML 5-optimized site will let iPad users stream matches, and we had no problem booting up a match in Arthur Ashe stadium while Louis Armstrong Stadium played via picture-in-picture.
There's also a new,
'U.S. Open' iPhone app that features on-demand video highlights and radio broadcasts of matches.
ESPN3.com will also be streaming matches for the first five days of the tournament, and
CBSSports.com will take over and stream the later rounds beginning Saturday.
