Two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka will play Naomi Osaka on Saturday in the US Open final. The final of the women's competition will start at 22:00.

The 31-year-old Belarusian Azarenka will be playing in a final for the first time since she was defeated by Serena Williams in the 2013 US Open final.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Japanese Osaka is also targeting her second major trophy after winning the 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open.

Azarenka has won the last 11 matches, while Osaka is unbeaten in the last 10.

Both tennis players were supposed to meet in the final of the "Western and Southern Open", which was played in Flushing Meadows before the US Open. But Osaka withdrew from the bout due to muscle problems.
