After two weeks of eye-opening upsets of top-seeded veterans and former Major champions, unheralded teenagers with nerves of steel and tremendous shot-making ability will meet for the 2021 US Open Women’s Championship on ESPN Saturday at 4 p.m. ET. Leylah Fernandez of Canada, 19 and ranked #73 in the world, will face 18-year-old Emma Raducanu of Great Britain who entered the main draw via qualifying. Raducanu is the first player, male or female, to reach a Major final having emerged from the qualifying competition. She is ranked #150 but just two months ago was #338.
