World No. 1 Jannik Sinner has admitted that Friday’s US Open semifinal clash against Jack Draper ‘will be a tough one’, with the British youngster playing some ‘amazing tennis’ at the tournament thus far.<\/strong><\/p>\n

British tennis<\/a> star Jack Draper booked his spot in a career-first Grand Slam semifinal on Wednesday, fighting his way past Alex de Minaur in the 2024 US Open quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Draper, who is the first British man to reach the final four at the US Open<\/a> since Andy Murray did so and won the title in 2014, defeated the 10th seed Australian 6-3 7-5 6-2, maintaining his record of not yet having dropped a set at the tournament.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old’s run in New York resembles that of fellow Brit Emma Raducanu<\/a>, who won the US Open in 2021 at the age of 18, and she also made it to the semifinals and won the competition without losing a set.<\/p>\n

Sutton-born Draper now faces another tough test in facing world No. 1 Jannik Sinner<\/a> in Friday’s semifinals, with the Italian seeing off Daniil Medvedev 6-2 1-6 6-1 6-4 in his quarterfinal clash.<\/p>\n
