Jack Draper has made history by becoming the first British man to reach the US Open quarter-finals since Andy Murray in 2016, defeating Tomas Machac in straight sets. Draper expressed his admiration for Murray, acknowledging the retired star's impact on his career and humorously mentioning missing his 'stinky shoes and clothes.' He noted that despite his current success, he believes there is still room for improvement in his game as he prepares to face Alex de Minaur. This milestone comes after a challenging period for Draper, who revealed he almost quit tennis due to injuries but now feels confident and capable. Draper's journey has resonated with fans as he steps into a role reminiscent of Murray's legacy in British tennis. With three wins away from potentially becoming the first British men's Grand Slam singles champion since Murray, Draper aims to uphold the high standards set by his idol.
