When is the US Open final? Date and UK time of 2021 women’s tennis finale of Emma Raducanu vs Leylah Fernandez

The US Open 2021 is reaching its conclusion, with the finals weekend upon us.

Emma Raducanu has been the story of the US Open so far by becoming the first tennis player in the world to advance from qualifying to reach the final of a Grand Slam.

The rising star of British tennis has already broken a long list of records at Flushing Meadows over the past few weeks and has done it all without dropping a set to an opponent.

Needless to say there’s a lot of home interest in 18-year-old Raducanu’s US Open 2021 final appearance against fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez, who turned 19 on Monday.

While the eyes of the world will be on the US Open 2021 women’s final - the first time two teenagers have met in a Grand Slam final since Serena Williams vs Martina Hingis in 1999.

Raducanu has beaten 17th seed Maria Sakkari, Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic and home crowd favourite Shelby Rogers on route to her first Grand Slam final in New York.

Opponent Fernandez overcame 2nd seed Aryna Sabalenka, 5th seed Elina Svitolina and former US Open champion Naomi Osaka on her way to the final on court at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
