Novak Djokovic will face Stan Wawrinka for the U.S. Open final on Sunday afternoon. It's an excellent matchup between two players who are no stranger to each other in Grand Slam play.

Below, we'll preview the match and pass along the viewing information for the final Grand Slam of the year.

    

Match Information

Preview

On paper, Djokovic is the clear favorite over Wawrinka. The Serb is the top-ranked player in the world and 19-4 all-time against Wawrinka—13-2 on hard surfaces. He's an incredible 51-4 this season and has won seven singles titles, including the Australian and French Opens.

Greg Garber of ESPN.com broke down the difference in total tennis played between Djokovic and Wawrinka: "After defeating Monfils, Djokovic has played only 13 sets and a total of 118 games. This puts him on a record pace for fewest sets and games in an Open-era major that featured a 128-man draw and only best-of-five-set matches. Wawrinka has played a staggering 23 sets and 237 games."

But Wawrinka also has cause to be confident.

He's beaten Djokovic twice in their last three Grand Slam meetings: in the 2014 Australian Open quarterfinals and the 2015 French Open final. While he doesn't have Djokovic's 2016 resume, he's nonetheless 31-11 with three singles titles this year.

And, perhaps more importantly, he has the power to beat anyone in the world when he's playing at his best—which is exactly the type of tennis he'll need to play.

“The secret is simple: I have to play my best tennis, my best game,” Wawrinka told Bryan...
