To have two players so far down the rankings in the US Open women’s final is beyond rare. Enjoy Leylah Fernandez and Emma Raducanu for where they are.

Daniil Medvedev advanced to his second U.S. Open final in three years, sweeping Felix Auger-Aliassime in straights sets in Friday’s first semifinal.

On a strange, historic women’s semifinal night at the U.S. Open, teenagers Emma Raducanu, Leylah Fernandez threw conventional wisdom out the window.

Leylah Fernandez becomes the youngest major finalist since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004 with her 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 victory.

In pursuit of a calendar-year Grand Slam, a feat last accomplished by Rod Laver in 1969, Novak Djokovic defeats Matteo Berrettini, on to semifinals.

Greatness has been predicted for Felix Auger-Aliassime since he was a teenager, but he hasn’t quite been able to deliver on the hype – until now.

“How are you going to beat the big girls?” Leylah Fernandez’s former coach asked her that question often. The petite Canadian has found the answer.

Leylah Fernandez put together another stunning third-set performance at Arthur Ashe Stadium to knock out No. 5 seed Elina Svitolina, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6.

Novak Djokovic pulled away for a four-set victory over promising 20-year-old American Jenson Brooksby in the Round of 16 at the U.S. Open.
