It would be an understatement of epic proportions to say that this U.S. Open women's final is one anybody would have expected. But that doesn't mean viewers aren't in for a rare treat.

Two unseeded teenagers will take the court on Arthur Ashe Stadium, each looking to cement their place in tennis lore after defying all the odds to reach the championship match.

Canada’s Leylah Fernandez, 19, beat two former U.S. Open champions in the third and fourth rounds and two top-five players in the quarterfinals and semifinals to book her spot in the final. And while Great Britain’s Emma Raducanu had a far easier road, her path to the final was historic. The 18-year-old became the first qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open era (since 1968).
