Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

US Open

The final grand slam event of the year, the men’s title was won last year by Carlos Alcaraz, the youngest player to claim the title since Pete Sampras in 1990. The now 20-year-old Spaniard returns to Flushing Meadows the reigning Wimbledon champion. On the women’s side, 2022 winner Iga Swiatek will be back to defend her title, with the Polish player also retaining her French Open crown earlier this season. – Aug 28th-Sep 10th, Sky Sports

Women’s Irish Open

The Ladies European Tour moves to Clare this week for the KPMG Women’s Irish Open. It’ll be the second year in a row the tournament, which has a prize-fund of €400,000, is held at Dromoland Castle. There will, of course, be several Irish players taking part, though much of the focus will be on Cavan’s Leona Maguire, who won the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan a few months ago. – Thursday-Sunday, RTÉ & Sky Sports
