Andy Murray beat world No 7 Alexander Zverev in thrilling fashion yesterday to book a place in the third round of the 2020 Western and Southern Open, aka this year's re-branded and re-located ATP Cincinnati Masters event. Today, he'll face Milos Raonic, the big-serving Canadian with an even bigger new hairdo. Read on as we've compiled this handy guide for getting a Murray vs Raonic live stream today so you can watch all the ATP Tour tennis online.

Murray vs Raonic cheat sheet

Murray vs Raonic has been pencilled in to start at approximately 4.20pm ET/1.20pm PT this afternoon in New York, which is 9.20pm BST in the UK tonight - though that's subject to change depending on the previous matches. Full Murray vs Raonic live stream and TV details are detailed below - and you can watch your preferred coverage from anywhere with the help of our No. 1 reviewed VPN, ExpressVPN - now being 49% off.

Murray and Raonic, who beat Dan Evans in the last round, played each other six times in 2016 - including in that year's Wimbledon final - but haven't faced off since. The Scot has come out on top in each of their past eight matches, but since the last of those he's undergone two major hip operations, announced his retirement from the sport and made a comeback. Injuries have also plagued Raonic over recent years, but he's been in fine form in New York and is yet to drop a set.

When they last played off four years ago, both men were ranked amongst the best five male singles tennis players in the world, but they've since fallen down the pecking order due to these injuries. They've impressed at the Western and Southern Open though, with Raonic breezing past Sam Querrey and Dan Evans in straight sets, and Murray overcoming Frances Tiafoe and Alexander Zverev. 

The defeat of Zverev was Murray's first top-10 victory since 2017, and he did it in style, coming back from the brink of elimination in the final set to reach the third round. Both of Murray's victories have gone the distance, though Raonic has also spent plenty of time out on the court, as he's on doubles duty, too. The 29-year-old Canadian hasn't beaten the 33-year-old Scot since 2014, but the bookmakers have him down as the favourite today.

Make sure you don't miss any of the tennis - here's how to watch Murray vs Raonic online and get an ATP tennis live stream wherever you are right now.

Tennis fans tuning in from the US can watch Murray vs Raonic on ESPN 2, which is showing the singles Round of 16 action from 11am-7pm ET (8am-4pm PT) today. 

Murray and Raonic are expected to step out onto the court at around 4.20pm ET/1.20pm PT, though this depends on how long the Djokovic vs Sangdren match takes.

The Western and Southern Open action is split between ESPN and the Tennis Channel in the US - both of which are cable-based services, so in order to watch you'll need to have a subscription.

Or a good over-the-top streaming service that gives you access to the same channels for a fraction of the price!

Of the many and varied options, the best for tennis fans wanting to watch a Western and Southern Open live stream is Sling TV, whose Sling Orange package features ESPN channels for just $30 a month. Throw in its Sports Extra add-on for an extra $10 a month to get the Tennis Channel and more - and you're done for just $40 p/m - much less than the competition and WAY less than cable.

Best of all, Sling offers a FREE trial period so you can get a free tennis live stream for some of the tournament and check out the service for yourself.

New or existing subscribers to US streaming services can still access the platform of their choice from abroad, too - all you need is the help of a good VPN.
