De Minaur is like Norrie and David Ferrer before him. Extremely limited players, who make the most of their skills, but with no weapons will always come up short against the very top players.
Draper is left handed, a rarity in the current game and his serve is a major weapon. I have read that he is actually right handed, hence why his backhand is almost as strong as the forehand.2 -
Jack Draper makes his first slam Semi final against the World num 8. Now he faces either Sinner, the world num 1 and Australian open winner in 24 or Daniel Medvedev the world num 5 and USA open winner 21.
The giant Russian has a better record at Flushing meadows than Sinner but again a 50/50 match.
Jack had to step up to beat De Minaur who he had a
0-3 record against.
Draper will have to play the match of his life to win over a possible 5 sets in the Semi final regardless who he plays.

In the ATP live rankings, Jack Draper is up to world no. 20, a new career high.
If he’s able to get to the final, he’d jump no. 14 and winning the entire thing would boost him further to no. 12.2 -
Two polar opposite sets between Sinner and Medvedev so far.
Sinner takes the first 6-2.
Medvedev takes the second 6-1.0 -
2-0 Sinner in the third now.0

Sinner in 4. Probably the best player in the world right now.

Well you can’t say Draper isn’t putting up a fight0

Can’t tell if this is messy or an epic.
On serve at 5-4 in the second set with over two hours played already. Draper has thrown up twice in the last 10-15 minutes.We have a trainer out for Draper’s illness / overheating and a trainer for Sinner who just landed on his left wrist awkwardly.0 -
