The previous day’s mixed doubles coverage averaged 363,000, peaking at 502,000 during the 5 PM ET quarter-hour that included the pairing of Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz.

The full US Open tennis tournament averaged 1.1 million viewers on the ESPN networks, up 39% from last year and the highest since Serena Williams last played the event in 2022. Keep in mind that between Nielsen’s new “Big Data + Panel” methodology and its February expansion of out of-home viewing, this year’s figures have a built-in advantage over past years.
