Emma Raducanu v Leylah Annie Fernandez Betting Tips [12 September 2021]

Did anyone ask a bookmaker for odds on a Raducanu v Fernandez US Open final? It's very unlikely that anyone could have dreamed of such a match but that's what we have this evening.  Two teenagers with a combined age four years younger than Venus Williams (five at the start of the tournament) have been beating seed after seed in yet another unpredictable women's singles Grand Slam tournament. At the end of May, Emma Raducanu was the world number 366. After her straight sets win over Maria Sakkari, her live ranking is 32nd. The 18-year-old is now the British number one and ranked higher than Serena Williams. Wins in New York have come in dominating manner. Her last four matches have seen just 16 games lost and that includes beating two top 20 players, including Olympic champion Belinda Bencic.

Leylah Fernandez began this tournament as an 18-year-old ranked 73rd in the world. Now she's 19 and up to 27th in the live rankings. A win over Raducanu will see her go into the top 20 for the first time in her career. Fernandez has beaten three of the top five players in the world. Wins have come against Aryna Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina, an amazing performance. Can she go on and win the title against a player who was also born in Canada?  Fernandez has more experience than her opponent and won a tournament earlier this year. If you want to place a bet on who will win this match, do it in-play. How these players react to the occasion is going to be so important. Raducanu didn't fare well at Wimbledon when the occasion got to her. That could happen to either player in this match.Fernandez has had the best wins over higher ranked players, go for her to win the title.
