Amazon.com Inc. is making it easier to watch U.K. tennis sensation Emma Raducanu in the U.S. Open final with a deal to show the match free on Channel 4 as well as on its Amazon Prime streaming service in the teenager’s home market.

Raducanu, 18, is the first qualifier to reach a Grand Slam final, where she’ll meet 19-year-old Canadian Leylah Fernandez. The Briton made her major tournament debut earlier this year, reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon before pulling out with breathing difficulties.
