Jack Draper further announced himself as the new star of British tennis by reaching the US Open semi-finals.

In the first grand slam since Andy Murray ended his stellar career, Draper has stepped up into the limelight and is taking New York by storm.

His 6-3 7-5 6-2 win in the quarter-final against world number 10 Alex De Minaur saw him become the first British man to reach the last four at Flushing Meadows since Murray won it in 2012.

His run here has similar vibes to that of another British success story when Emma Raducanu shocked the world by winning in 2021.

It would not be considered as big a shock if Draper were to win two more matches and lift the title, but the manner of his victories to this point, where he has won 15 straight sets, are that of a man on a similar journey to Raducanu.

He has taken advantage of Carlos Alcaraz’s early exit – the Spaniard was his slated opponent in the third round before crashing out – and swept all that have come before him aside.
