The US Open final will be dominated by two teenage women who have taken the tournament by storm. Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez have stunned the tennis world with their respective march to the final, and this will be one of the most anticipated matches for women’s tennis in years.
Both also happen to be beautiful and charismatic which will only add to the hype.
Raducanu has been the more dominant of the two, but also has the more improbable run to the final. She was ranked 150th in the world and had to go through qualifying to get into main draw. In only her second major, she hasn’t lost a set yet in the tournament.
After two sets, it looked like Novak Djokovic might be finished. After a grueling wins in the semis over Rafael Nadal, Djokovic looked sluggish as Stefanos Tsitsipas dominated the action.
But then he dug deep and everything flipped. Djokovic stormed back to win in five sets, giving him his nineteenth grand slam title, right behind Nadal and Roger Federer who sit at 20.
The big three era will go down in history as the greatest in tennis history. You can make an argument that these are the three best players in tennis history, even if you argue about the order.
But now Djokovic may be on the verge of surpassing his two iconic rivals. At 34, Djokovic is poised to surpass both Nadal and Federer in grand slam titles, and he has winning records against both.
