Yes. The US Open 2024 will make use of the video replay, as was the case at last year’s tournament. This year, however, organisers have announced an expanded use of the video replay, being used on eight courts instead of only five (as was the case in 2023).
It will be added to Courts 7, 11 and 12, to go alongside the pre-existing use on Ashe, Armstrong, Grandstand, Stadium 17 and Court 5.
“We assessed the process and the infrastructure needs, and we felt that going to eight courts this year was the right move,” US Open tournament referee Jake Garner said. “It covers about 75% of our singles matches.”
