It’s time for the Leylah Annie Fernandez vs Aryna Sabalenka live stream, the first of a pair of hotly anticipated matches tonight. Fernandez, a 19-year-old Canadian prodigy, won a lot of attention after she sunk Naomi Osaka in round three and then made herself must-see and more than a fluke after knocking off the 5th-seeded Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinal. And she’s now just a win away from the finals. So, can she do it again in this US Open live stream?
The Leylah Annie Fernandez vs Aryna Sabalenka live stream is taking place today (Thursday, September 9).
The match time is 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT / 12 a.m. BST.

The experts are leaning in favor of Sabalenka, who is having an excellent season. She's currently no.2 in the world rankings after a year that has so far seen her reach the semis at Wimbledon and win a couple of WTA titles.
The 73rd-ranked Fernandez, though, is no stranger to upsets, taking the 2020 Open champ Naomi Osaka out in the third round (5-7, 7-6, 6-4) and the 17th-ranked Angelique Kerber of Germany down in the Round of 16 (6-4, 6-7, 2-6). She was then even more impressive in knocking out Svitolina, in the process becoming the youngest woman to reach the US Open singles semi-finals since Maria Sharapova in 2005.
