Draper, 22, is the first to reach the last four in Flushing Meadows since Andy Murray in 2012
US Openwas the last Brit to do it, when he went on to win the title in 2012, but Draper will be a significant underdog to follow in his footsteps, guaranteed to face a grand slam champion in Friday’s semi-final.
“It’s amazing to be out here, my first match on the biggest court in the world. It’s a dream come true for me.” To some surprise it was Draper, who needed no assessment before asking the trainer to strap up his right hamstring, the same area that forced him to retire when going well against Karen Khachanov in New York two years ago. The Brit has 14 career mid-match injury withdrawals to his name, a staggering number for one so young, and admitted before this match that he twice nearly quit tennis altogether due to his physical struggles.
