Naomi Osaka takes on her idol Serena Williams in this year's US Open women's singles final.

The 20-year-old, who is the first Japanese woman to appear in a Grand Slam final, was barely 12 months old when Williams won her first major title but now the young star finds herself going head to head with the American great.

Williams, meanwhile, is appearing in her second Grand Slam final of the year, having lost to Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon nearly two months ago.

The 36-year-old is continuing her remarkable return to the game after giving birth to a daughter last year. With 23 Grand Slam titles to her name, she has the chance to draw level with Margaret Court's all-time record (24).
