Weak return game for Draper to open the third set there. Now to see if he has anything left on serve.
He’s never won from two sets down.0 -

Sinner breaks for a 4-2 lead.
Draper can barely stand at this point, let alone run across the court to return the ball.1 -
Sinner wins 7-5 7-6 6-2.0

Draper has done incredibly well in this tournament. The game overall has been dominated by three players in the last 20 years with the likes of Murray and Wawrinka enjoying their days in the sun too. With that guard now changing, hopefully Draper will do that too in time. He has the game and ran out of puff here but is three years younger than Murray was when he won his first Grand Slam.8

Well done Jack Draper. A successful tournament overall. Only Fred Perry, Greg Rusedski and Andy Murray amongst British men have bettered your achievement at this US Open.
Look forward to further improvement in the future.6 -

Jack Draper would find life on the court much more comfortable if he were to find a few shirts that fit properly .. I guess he has a Nike deal which specifies when and what outfits he wears irrespective of how comfy they are0

I've never seen anyone sweat so much. I know he has had problems with heat/humidity before, but not sure why some people sweat so much, much more than others. But it is a problem for him because it was causing a problem holding the racquet firmly. Also, he needs to get fluids back in else he'll get dehydrated but is a problem if he just vomits it back up. Hopefully he'll be able to work with his team and medics to minimise the impact of this scenarioLincsaddick said:Jack Draper would find life on the court much more comfortable if he were to find a few shirts that fit properly ..

It's possible but I find it hard to believe that they specify he has to wear shirts that are too big for him.Lincsaddick said:Jack Draper would find life on the court much more comfortable if he were to find a few shirts that fit properly ..

Quite a new looking squad, with Draper, Evans and Skupski joined by Billy Harris and Henry Patten

He got cleared a lot quicker than most players - galling for some of them.Lincsaddick said:
