In a dramatic US Open semi-final, Jannik Sinner defeated Jack Draper in straight sets, 7-5, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, despite both players facing physical challenges due to the humid conditions at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Draper, who struggled with severe nausea throughout the match, vomited on multiple occasions while Sinner received treatment for a wrist injury sustained during play. The match, notable for its intense rallies and lengthy second set, highlighted Draper's resilience but ultimately ended his hopes of reaching the final, marking a significant moment in his career. Sinner, now set to compete for his second Grand Slam title of the year, expressed admiration for his friend Draper’s effort. The Italian's victory comes in the wake of a doping controversy that he successfully navigated just before the tournament. Meanwhile, Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz are set to face off in the other semi-final, making it the first all-American match at this stage in 19 years.
