If you thought the solar eclipse was cool, here’s another cosmic event  – this one in the tennis firmament.  And no need for special glasses.  DIRECTV, in collaboration with ESPN, will offer expanded live TV coverage of the US Open Championship, the final Major tennis event of the season. ESPN is the exclusive home of live US Open coverage in the U.S., with more than 130 hours on ESPN, ESPN2 and streaming live on the ESPN App.
