Britain's Jack Draper threw up on court during a dramatic US Open semi-final defeat where world number one Jannik Sinner ultimately proved a step up in class.

The 22-year-old British number one's breakout run at a Grand Slam tournament was ended in a 7-5 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 defeat in New York.

In the biggest match of his fledgling career, 25th seed Draper caused problems for Sinner in a tight first set.

But, as the contest became more physical in the second set, a peaky-looking Draper vomited and was unable to inflict enough damage on Sinner's serve.
