Carlos Alcaraz vs Jaime Faria live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: US Open 2026
Alcaraz is 25-3 at the US Open
There are two versions of tonight’s US Open match: one where defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain picks up right where he left off in April, and another where four months away from competitive tennis leaves cracks a hungry underdog can exploit — and his opening contest back gave little away either way.
Alcaraz was tidy rather than spectacular against Russia’s Roman Safiullin, sealing a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win with no visible signs of caution around the wrist that had kept him out all spring. Twenty-five wins and three losses now sit next to his name at this tournament, a record most players would sign for in their sleep.
On the other hand, Jaime Faria of Portugal has taken the far bumpier road to get here. His US Open 2026 opener against USA’s Jenson Brooksby swung five full sets, complete with 14 aces, 14 double faults, and a crowd firmly against him after his win over the popular American.
Faria thrives in that kind of chaos, it seems, having already beaten another American, Ben Shelton, this summer, besides taking USA’s Frances Tiafoe the distance at the French Open this year.
