Ruthless Jack Draper echoing Emma Raducanu in dream US Open run
15 sets played, 15 sets won: Jack Draper has been perfect so far at the US Open - AP Photo/Pamela SmithJack Draper came of age on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday afternoon, becoming the first British male to reach the US Open semi-finals since Andy Murray broke his grand slam duck here in 2012.
The 22-year-old Draper has felt like a well-kept tennis secret for the past couple of years, even though his peers have repeatedly tipped him as a serious contender.
Now the secret is out in the open, after Draper ousted 10th seed Alex de Minaur by a 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 scoreline, maintaining his perfect record of not having dropped a set at this tournament.
