Teenagers Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez have served noticed they are the faces of a new women's tennis generation, yet only one gets a fairytale ending in Saturday's US Open final. British 18-year-old Raducanu, the first qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final, and 19-year-old Fernandez, a 73rd-ranked Canadian left-hander, meet at Arthur Ashe Stadium with history at stake and drama assured. "It will be a tough match for sure. She's playing great tennis. But I think I'm also playing very good tennis. I'm excited to go out there," Raducanu said. It's the first Grand Slam final between teenagers since 17-year-old Serena Williams beat Martina Hingis, 18, at the 1999 US Open, and just the eighth all-teenager Slam final in the Open era (since 1968). One will walk off with her first Grand Slam trophy on the same court where Williams, a 23-time Slam winner about to turn 40, took her first 22 years ago. "There's no limit to my potential, to what I can do. Every day we just got to keep working hard, we got to keep going for it. Nothing's impossible. I'm just glad right now everything's going well," Fernandez said.
