Poor Jack Draper. When the British No 1 lay awake in his New York hotel room on the night before his first grand slam semi-final, he would not have pictured his superb US Open run coming to an end while mopping up his own vomit on court. In a brutal contest against the World No 1 Jannik Sinner, Draper threw up four times and was left completely drained at the end of a gruelling three-hour battle. Sinner emerged with a 7-5 7-6 (3) 6-2 victory to reach his second grand slam final of the season and first in New York, but only after he had been pushed all the way by Draper.
