Fernandez has reached six hard-court finals in her career, winning four titles on the surface. She is a former finalist at the New York Major, finishing runner-up to Emma Raducanu in 2021.

Jacquemot has not reached a WTA final in her career so far, with the Frenchwoman having reached one hard-court final on the Challenger Tour at the Open de Limoges in 2023, where she lost against Cristina Bucsa. This is the first time she has won a main-draw match at the US Open.

Speaking of the ‘GOAT’ debate, Sagnik believes that it is a bit unfair to compare the legends of the game from different eras who have played on different terms. But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
