Elina Svitolina vs Leylah Annie Fernandez live stream and how to watch US Open tennis online

It's time for the Elina Svitolina vs Leylah Annie Fernandez live stream, and we're curious if the Grand Slam tournament will deliver another surprise. On one side of the court, we've got a highly-ranked star, and she's opposite up-and-coming prodigy who's already surprised us all. So, who will take this US Open live stream?

The experts are leaning in favor of Svitolina, who won their first and only previous match, in 2020 at Monterrey. She won 6-4, 7-4 then, and arrives here after taking her last four US Open opponents down in straight sets, including a 6-3, 6-3 win vs Simona Halep in the Round of 16.

Svitolina was dominant in that match, with five aces and only one double-fault. With Osaka and Barty out, she's become a major threat to win her first Grand Slam tournament.

The 73rd-ranked Fernandez, though, is no stranger to upsets, taking the 2020 Open champ Naomi Osaka out in the third round (5-7, 7(7)-6(2), 6-4) and the 17th-ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany down in the Round of 16 (6-4, 6(5)-7(7), 2-6).
