Osaka vs Azarenka start time, live stream, TV channel: How to watch US Open final 2020


Victoria Azarenka and Naomi Osaka were set for a title clash two weeks back before the Japanese star withdrew due to injury. But the former world number ones will have another chance to establish supremacy during Saturday’s US Open women’s singles final.

A hamstring injury forced 22-year-old Osaka to pull out of the final of the Western & Southern Open, which was played at the Grand Slam venue at Flushing Meadows this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Very excited about that (final). I’m as excited as I was last time,” Azarenka told reporters after beating Serena Williams in Thursday’s semi-final at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

“I’m sure this time we’re going to get to play and it’s going to be a great match.

“I think it’s going to be an amazing final, I hope it will be. I’ll have fun.”

Azarenka, who is nine years older than Osaka, won her two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open in 2012 and 2013 – the same years she finished runner-up at the US Open to Williams.

Osaka, who moved to the United States as a three-year-old, has also won the same number of major titles – the first at Flushing Meadows in 2018 and a second consecutive Grand Slam in Melbourne the following year.

“She’s a very, very powerful player. She’s a great champion,” Azarenka said of Osaka.

“She’s won two already. Aren’t we both looking for a third one?”

Osaka vs Azarenka is sheduled to get underway at 9pm BST tonight.
