So far in Jack Draper’s young career, since his very first ATP appearance, much of his progress has been dictated by his injuries. Whenever he has had the opportunity to play with a clean bill of health, though, he has shown that he can step up.
He did so again on Thursday afternoon as, soon into his return to competition after a shoulder injury derailed his summer, Draper pulled off a big win by dismantling Hubert Hurkacz, the 17th seed, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 to return to the third round of the US Open.
