In a match featuring an exciting new generation of women's tennis, teenagers Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez face each other in an unlikely US Open final on Saturday. British 18-year-old Raducanu, the first qualifier ever to reach a Grand Slam final, will attempt to become the first British woman to win a Grand Slam title since Virginia Wade at Wimbledon in 1977. She has not dropped a single set on her to way to the final at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Fernandez, a 19-year-old Canadian left-hander ranked 73 in the world, has beaten defending champion Naomi Osaka, second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka and fifth seed Elina Svitolina on her passage to the final. "It will be a tough match for sure. She's playing great tennis," Raducanu said. "But I think I'm also playing very good tennis. I'm excited to go out there." It is the first time teenagers have met in a Grand Slam final since 17-year-old Serena Williams beat Martina Hingis, 18, at the 1999 US Open.
