British teenager Emma Raducanu has beaten all the odds and made her way into the US Open final in spectacular fashion. She hasn't even dropped a set yet.
Her journey is made all the more remarkable by the fact that she also had to complete three qualifying matches to even make the Grand Slam tournament.
This Saturday, 11 September 2021, she will face fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez, who also went into the tournament unseeded. Here's how to watch the final live.

How to watch the US Open 2021 final live in the UK
On Amazon
Amazon has the exclusive broadcast rights to live US Open action in the UK. You will therefore either need to be an Amazon Prime member or subscribe to Amazon Prime Video specifically.
Amazon Prime membership costs £79 per year, or £7.99 per month. For that, you get access to Amazon Prime Video streaming, next or same-day deliveries from Amazon.co.uk, and many more benefits.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Amazon Prime Video alone, but that also costs £7.99 per month so you're better off with full Prime membership with its added extras.
