Rafael Nadal will go for his third US Open championship on Sunday as he faces Kevin Anderson in the final to close out the Major. Nadal, the top seed, bested the tough Juan Martin del Potro in the semifinals and now hopes to take down Anderson, who is appearing in his first Major final.

The men’s final will begin at 4 p.m. ET and will be broadcast by ESPN. There will also be live streaming online via WatchESPN and the ESPN App for the match.
The women’s final was decided on Saturday, with unseeded American Sloane Stephens besting fellow American and 15th seed Madison Keys in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. It was Stephens’ first ever Grand Slam victory.
We could see another first timer winning one if Anderson can make it past Nadal, but that’s a very tall order. They have played four times before, with three of those matches coming on hard surfaces like the one in New York, but Nadal has won all four matches.
Both players are 31 years old, but both have had vastly different careers. Nadal is going for his third US Open championship and his second Grand Slam of the year as he won the French Open earlier. He’s also going for his 16th Grand Slam title overall.
Nadal was expected to face Roger Federer in the semifinals, with the winner of that match going on to win it all. But Federer, who won the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year, fell to del Potro in the quarterfinals. That allowed Nadal to take down del Potro and set up Sunday’s match with Anderson.
The men’s bracket at the US Open has been a weird one, with all of Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Kei Nishikori, Stan Wawrinka and Milos Raonic missing the action due to injury. Other big names like Dominic Thiem and Grigor Dimitrov were eliminated from the action early on.
Below is all the information you need to know to watch Sunday’s action. As always, you can find updated brackets and results for men’s singles here and women’s singles here.
