Third semifinal in a Slam in 2024, first ever at the Us Openand the possibility of further securing the first position in the ranking Atp: after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the quarter-finals, Jannik Sinner will challenge the British Jack Draper in the semi-final of the US Open, the fourth and final Slam to be held on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows, New York.
Draper, perfect course at the US Open
Sinner, putting aside the controversy over the Clostebol positivity (of which he was cleared) and the doubts about his physical condition that forced him to skip the Olympic appointment in Paris, is demonstrating great brilliance. He himself, at the end of the last match won against Medvedev, admitted that he was playing ”the best tennis from the beginning of the tournament”. Before the Russian, Jannik had eliminated McDonald, Michelsen, O’Connell e Paul.
Who is Jack Draper?
The next obstacle is therefore the British Jack Draper, world no. 25, at his first career semifinal in a Slam. A practically perfect path for the contemporary of Sinner (but 23 years old to turn in December): the native of Sutton has in fact not lost a single set in his path, where he has overcome Zhang, Diaz Acosta, van de Zandschulp, Machac e of Minaur.
Previous Sinner-Draper: British ahead 1-0
An opponent not to be underestimated, also because he won the only previous match, played three years ago on the grass of Queen’s (double 7-6 for Draper). The challenge will be played in the Italian night between Friday and Saturday, the time is still to be defined. Sinner had nice words for his opponent: ”Jack is a great friend, he is playing really well, it will be tough”. The winner will surely find an American in the final: the other semi-final in fact includes the star-spangled derby between Fritz e Tiafoe.
