How to watch a Djokovic vs Zverev live stream from outside your country
If you’re abroad during the US Open, you’ll likely find you’re unable to access your domestic tennis coverage like you would at home. This isn’t necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.
Fortunately, there’s a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you swerve around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred tennis live stream. It’s a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
