Except that's wrong. Amazon only have WTA rights to 2023. It is a 4 year deal started in 2020.

One reply in that thread says

"As part of its coverage, Sky Sports will have access to all individual court feeds, broadcasting a minimum of 135 hours of competition"

To me that sounds like the equivalent of a couple of courts per day at most.

Sky have released details about their US Open coverage. All courts will be available to Sky Sports subscribers on the various Sky platforms. Sky Sports subscribers on other platforms will have access to all courts through the Sky Sports app [it doesn't say in the release but there may be a few additional streams on Virgin Media, for example F1 coverage on Virgin Media has 4 additional streams through the red button with the full range of 24+ streams available in the app].

Lead presenter will be Gigi Salmon, with Martina Navratilova, Tim Henman, Jo Konta, Feliciano Lopez, Marion Bartoli, Jordanne Whiley, Laura Robson, Jamie Murray, Karthi Gnanasegaram, Emma Paton, with Jonathan Overend.

Coverage will also include doubles, juniors and wheelchair

Among the questions that remain is will there be on demand replays? I don't think they have on demand replays for any other sport, unless anyone knows different?

Still nothing about whether they will show ATP/WTA coverage next year as respected tennis journalists have previously reported. Perhaps they'll use the US Open to announce it.
