Hong Kong Open 2024: live stream tennis online from anywhere

One of the final tournaments before the WTA Tour Finals, the 11th edition of the Hong Kong Open sees a host of big names chasing glory at the Victoria Park Tennis Centre in Causeway Bay.

Below is how to watch 2024 Hong Kong Open tennis online from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for free.

As the 2024 season draws to a close, the Hong Kong Open presents one last opportunity for players to grab some silverware. The top eight may be missing as they prepare for the WTA Tour Finals, but there is still a strong field competing for the title.

Diana Shnaider is the top seed and will take some stopping after an impressive season that has seen her win three titles and reach a career-high ranking of 14th in the world. The 20-year-old Russian reached the semi-finals of the Japan Open last week and will be keen to end the season with another title to her name.

Other potential contenders for the crown include defending champion and former US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez, British number one Katie Boulter, who also reached the last four at the Japan Open, and China’s Yuan Yue, who won her first-ever tour title earlier this year.

To see who will end the season in style, check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch the 2024 Hong Kong Open from anywhere – and potentially for free.
