A thrill-filled fortnight of world-class tennis will come to a climax at Flushing Meadows on Sunday as Novak Djokovic and Stanislas Wawrinka prepare to collide in the men's final of the 2016 U.S. Open.

Djokovic has made his way to New York with the vision of clinching his third U.S. Open title, and after defeating Roger Federer to win last year's final, he now has another Swiss sensation in his sights.

Wawrinka has picked his moment to make his first major final of 2016 and will look to shock the masses by sealing the last Grand Slam available this year in what will be his maiden U.S. Open final appearance.

Read on for a full preview of Sunday's showdown, complete with career stats, head-to-head record and a prediction for who will emerge victorious in the decider.

Djokovic has beaten Wawrinka on 19 occasions, according to the official ATP World Tour website, but the latter's 2015 Grand Slam victory at Roland Garros accounts for one of his four wins.

Two of Wawrinka's four victories over the Serbian have also come on clay, and the Swiss was forced to endure an eight-year wait between his second and third wins over Djokovic, losing 14 times to his foe between 2006 and 2014.

That knowledge of Djokovic's domination will take some overcoming if Wawrinka is to win the mental battle, and he's already expecting a tough task in that department, per tennis writer Christopher Clarey:



Djokovic has enjoyed a relatively simple run to this year's U.S. Open final, and quarter-final opponent Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was his third opponent to have withdrawn either before or during their match.
