Sinner dispatches Draper 7-5, 7-6, 6-2 to reach maiden US Open final
While the dust continues to settle regarding his two positive drug tests despite being cleared of any offense or negligence, Jannik Sinner has his sights set on the US Open trophy. The twenty-three-year-old Italian is the reigning Australian Open champion, world #1, and a first-time semifinalist in NY. Having lost just two sets in five rounds, he was ready to go the distance to advance to the championship round.
Jack Draper from Britain has achieved a career-high rank of #25 on the heels of his first ATP Tour title this past spring on the grass in Stuttgart. The twenty-two-year-old southpaw has quietly and efficiently progressed through the draw without dropping a set. In just three main draw appearances he has reached the final four. In 2021 on the grass at Queens Club, he prevailed in two tiebreak sets in their lone previous tour-level meeting.
Sinner won…
