- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Alexander Zverev defeated Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets to secure a spot in the US Open semifinals. The German player won the match 6-2, 7-5, 6-1 in approximately 2 hours and 17 minutes. Zverev, who is the top seed in the tournament following the absence of Jannik Sinner, will face Karen Khachanov in the semifinals. The other semifinal match will feature Americans Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe. Zverev enters the match as a favorite, having reached at least the semifinals in all four Grand Slam tournaments this year and winning Roland Garros. In the process of this victory, Zverev recorded his 23rd Grand Slam win of the season, surpassing the previous German record of 22 held by Boris Becker. Van de Zandschulp, ranked 70th in the world, had previously reached the US Open quarterfinals in 2021 and has a history of defeating top players including Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal. The semifinals are scheduled for Friday, with the final taking place on Sunday, September 13.
