Angelique Kerber will face off against Karolina Pliskova in the 2016 U.S. Open women's final on Saturday, when a new champion will be crowned at Flushing Meadows following a whirlwind fortnight in New York.

Kerber comes into the showdown having stripped Serena Williams of the world No. 1 ranking following her 6-4, 6-3 win over Caroline Wozniacki, while Pliskova is making her maiden appearance in a Grand Slam final.
