The remarkable rise of Jack Draper continued at the US Open as he sealed his first-ever spot in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam.
Draper has burst into the spotlight at Flushing Meadows, beating Alex de Minaur to become the first British man to reach the semi-finals of the US Open since Andy Murray in 2012.
The 22-year-old, who had never previously made it past the fourth round of a Grand Slam, has won just one title on the ATP Tour and spent much of 2023 sidelined by a shoulder injury.
Draper has won all five of his matches at the US Open without dropping a set, but he said he was confident in his ability to be competitive over five sets.
"I've been feeling like a more complete player. Physically I've always worried a little bit about playing five sets and mentally and emotionally it being too much for me," Draper added.
"I still feel like I have got so much left in my locker. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that my body feels good or robust, and I'm ready to go the distance if I need to."
