- Deal agreed with Amazon to show final against Fernandez
- First British woman in 44 years to reach grand slam singles final
Channel 4 have struck a late deal with Amazon Prime to show Emma Raducanu’s US Open final against Leylah Fernandez live on free-to-air terrestrial TV in the UK.
The 18-year-old Raducanu is the first British woman since Virginia Wade in 1977 to reach a Grand Slam singles final, and has not lost a set during a remarkable run of victories at Flushing Meadows.
