It's raining in New York, so this match will be played under the roof. These conditions further enhance Djokovic's status as favourite for the trophy. Can Delpo defy the odds and the stats to triumph? Tweet @paul_hassall any views you have throughout the match and I'll include the best in this live text commentary.

Delpo: "He's playing so good. He will be the favourite to win. But I don't know. When I played Roger (Federer) nine years ago, he was the favourite to win, as well. I will try to make the surprise again."

On Saturday night the women's final saw the underdog Naomi Osaka triumph. However, the Japanese youngster's fairytale win was overshadowed by Serena Williams' war of words with the umpire. The American has since been fined $17,000 for her code violations. Could we have similar drama tonight?
It's probably unlikely, but you never know!
