Aryna Sabalenka will have to deal with a boisterous New York crowd when she faces home hope Jessica Pegula in Saturday's US Open final.
World number two Sabalenka is into the final at Flushing Meadows for the second year in a row.
However, the Belarusian struggled to deal with the crowd when she lost to another American, Coco Gauff, in last year's showpiece, later saying the noise was so loud it "blocked my ears".
Sixth seed Pegula, appearing in a first major singles final, was born in New York, and will have the crowd's backing.
