Ruthless Jack Draper echoing Emma Raducanu in dream US Open run

Jack 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.
