NEW YORK: Leylah Fernandez and Emma Raducanu are so similar in so many ways: They possess enviable quickness and anticipation. They take balls low to the ground and redirect them with ease. They love the big moment. They don't care how much better-known or more successful opponents are.

There's more. They're both teenagers. They're both unseeded at the US Open. They're both getting loud backing from the crowds. And now, remarkably, they're both Grand Slam finalists.
