The 22-year-old London native threw up on more than one occasion at the U.S. Open, during what was considered the biggest match of his career.
The conditions inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on Friday appeared to take a toll on Jack Draper. The British tennis player vomited multiple times during a semifinal match against Italian Jannik Sinner at the U.S. Open. 'It's the worst feeling ever,' Draper said via Tennis.com about his experience with an apparent on-court illness. 'You can't move around the court when that happens.' But, Sinner also had his own issues during the match.
The 23-year-old Sinner entered the final Grand Slam tennis tournament of the year as the top-ranked player in the world. However, he found himself at the center of controversy leading up to the U.S. Open. Sinner failed two drug tests in March, but was exonerated in the doping case less than a week before competition began in New York.
Sinner ultimately defeated Draper to reach his first title match at Flushing Meadows — and second at a Grand Slam tournament this year. He spoke about the physical nature of the match. 'It was a very physical match, as we see,' said Sinner, who is right-handed but uses both fists for his backhands and kept flexing his left wrist after it got hurt. 'I just tried to stay there mentally.
On the women's side, Saturday's final will feature American Jessica Pegula as she takes on Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
