Last Updated: 09/10/2021 at 5:22 PM ET
Emma Raducanu has made it into the final of the 2021 US Open. At this stage of the tournament, Emma Raducanu is set to play against Leylah Annie Fernandez from Canada.
Leylah Annie Fernandez enters this match having defeated the number 2 seed, Aryna Sabalenka in the previous round of the tournament. It was a very impressive performance by Fernandez as the Canadian player controlled the match with her impressive receiving. Leylah Annie Fernandez broke the serve of her opponent on 4 occasions which allowed her to win the match in 3 sets. During the course of this tournament, Leylah Annie Fernandez has defeated some elite players including Angelique Kerber, Elina Svitolina, and Naomi Osaka. This is the last match of the tournament and Leylah Annie Fernandez will be hoping he can bring home the title.
On the other side of the court, Emma Raducanu also had a big win in the previous round as she defeat Maria Sakkari. It was a strong performance by Brit as she won in straight sets losing only 5 games in the entire match. This has been an incredible tournament for Emma Raducanu but it has to be noted, the draw has fallen kindly. This is the biggest match of the tournament and Emma Raducanu will be hoping to win her first Grand Slam title.
Leylah Annie Fernandez and Emma Raducanu have played each other once in the past. The match was played in 2018 at the Junior Wimbledon tournament. Both players were junior players at that time with the match resulting in Emma Raducanu winning in straight sets. Both players are less than 20 meaning we should be able to witness these players perform strongly on the tour for many years to come.
This should be a close match between two very exciting players. That being said, I see Leylah Annie Fernandez winning this match. Leylah Annie Fernandez has shown more in this tournament and has more momentum on her side considering the wins she has produced at this event. I see Leylah Annie Fernandez winning in 3 sets.
