Fans in New York say whether they’re team Emma Raducanu or Leylah Fernandez

Emma Raducanu will be aiming to become the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title in 44 years when she takes on fellow teenage fellow Leylah Fernandez in the US Open women’s final in New York on Saturday.

Both players have exceeded expectations. Raducanu is ranked No. 150 in the world and Fernandez is No. 73, but the two 18- and 19-year-olds will face off in the final women’s match of the tournament.

US correspondent Jamie Johnson explains the hype surrounding the two young stars – Raducanu in particular – and speaks to fans at the tennis center in Flushing Meadows, Queens, to find out who they’re cheering for.
