US Open 2021 Women’s Singles Final: Emma Raducanu vs Leylah Fernandez – Preview, Prediction and Live Stream

After a thrilling fortnight of jaw-dropping tennis, it all comes down to this. The unseeded teenage duo is set to take center stage for one last time in New York this year. In the summit clash of the US Open 2021 women’s singles, it is Canada’s Leylah Fernandez vs Britain’s Emma Raducanu. Who will take home the coveted title at the end of it all?

Leylah Fernandez vs Emma Raducanu: Preview and Prediction

Coming into the tournament, neither of the two players were favorites. While Fernandez was expected to reach the 3rd Round at best, Raducanu had to go through qualifying as well as the main draw to reach the final. But as the tournament went on, both players remained rock-solid. 19-year-old Fernandez overcame massive hurdles in the form of Naomi Osaka, Elina Svitolina and Aryna Sabalenka en route to the final. Meanwhile, her 18-year-old counterpart conquered Olympic champion Belinda Bencic and Maria Sakkari.

The much-awaited title decider on Saturday will be a fierce battle. It is the first time since 2009 that two teenagers are contesting the US Open women’s final. With Raducanu’s fearsome hitting against Leylah’s unbreakable counterattacks, it is close to impossible to predict a winner. The British sensation will be heavily relying on her serve and ground strokes. On the other hand, the southpaw will look to use her opponent’s pace to her advantage, a tactic she has applied right throughout the competition.

Prediction: Emma Raducanu to pip Fernandez in three-setter for maiden Slam title.
