The evening semifinal is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. JoJo is due to sing before the match, but the tournament’s announcement doesn’t provide a separate start time for the anthem.

According to ESPN’s broadcast announcement, U.S. tennis coverage will air on ESPN, with Spanish-language coverage on ESPN Deportes. Streaming is available through the ESPN app for ESPN Unlimited subscribers.

Unfortunately, while the broadcast details confirm coverage of the semifinal, it doesn’t specify whether JoJo’s entire performance will be shown.

The “Too Little Too Late” singer will be joined by New York Vocal Collective, with Mervin Primeaux-O-Bryant performing in American Sign Language, according to the USTA’s ceremony announcement.

JoJo also posted about the performance on her Instagram Story, re-sharing the announcement and writing, “truly honored to be singing the national anthem with @nyvocalcollective before tonight’s semifinal between Tiafoe and Shelton.”

The evening ceremony also includes a presentation of the colors by the NYPD Color Guard and FDNY Honor Guard. Retired NYPD detective Brian Maguire, a September 11 first responder who now serves as USTA’s director of security, is scheduled to participate in the coin toss.
