Cincinnati Masters 2019 live stream: how to watch the tennis online from anywhere

The best way to clear this net is to download and install a VPN (click the link if you're a bit unsure of what that is). We've tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It's compatible with loads of devices (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PS4) and streaming services, ranks amongst the fastest and most secure, and even has an available 30-day money back guarantee so that you can effectively try before you buy.

So that's game, set and match for Express - but there are other fantastic VPN options out there as well:

1. ExpressVPN:  the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day free trial and three months free with a one-year sub

2. NordVPN: SmartPlay tech makes NordVPN a great choice for streaming

3. IPVanish supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go

And don't forget that a VPN isn't just for watching tennis. From unblocking restricted sites and watching Netflix in other territories, to adding an extra layer of security for online shopping and banking, it's not hard to see why their popularity is increasing.

In the US both ESPN and the Tennis Channel will air the action.

If you're a cord cutter that wants to catch the tennis without signing up to a lengthy, expensive plan, you could always try one of these sports streaming sites. Many have free trials going for them, too:

In Canada the rights to all the tennis Grand Slams are owned by TSN, and the 2019 Cincinnati Masters is thrown in as well. So that means you can access this via your TV, online or on the TSN app if you have access to the service. 

If you want to catch it but are out of the country, you can use a VPN to access the tennis coverage. 

UK viewers can enjoy the Cincinnati Masters from a TV, tablet, phone and more thanks to the BT Sport 2 broadcast coverage and its accompanying app. That does mean you'll need to be a paying subscriber though.

There's also coverage on the official ATP app (costing from £9.99) or, this year, via Amazon Prime Video. Click here to get Amazon Prime now costing £79 per year or £7.99 per month (with the ability to cancel any time), and you can watch the tennis as well as access to Amazon's library of TV shows and films and unlimited one-day delivery on Amazon orders from the UK.

Not in the UK this week? Then don't panic, as downloading and installing a VPN as described above will let you watch via the above services as if you were back in blighty.

This year it's ESPN that will offer the Cincinnati Masters action direct to your TV, and via the app. That means you can enjoy the tennis on your phone, tablet or laptop on the move or via a smart TV or console for big screen action.
