Djokovic is a heavy favorite on the men’s side. Djokovic has won five of the eight meetings, but Medvedev has won three of the past five and the 25-year-old should come out firing in pursuit of his first title. He also should have much fresher legs, having lost just one set while the 34-year-old Djokovic has dropped the first set in four straight matches. In Women’s side the US Open final will be Raducanu’s first top-level final. The 18-year-old has already set a few records as she is the first qualifier – man or woman – to reach a Grand Slam final while she is hoping to become the first British woman to reach a major final since Virginia Wade won Wimbledon in 1977.
