World’s No.1 Jannik Sinner of Italy looks to advance to his second Grand Slam finals of the year, facing the red-hot Jack Draper of Great Britain in the men’s singles semis at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York. Sinner exacted his revenge on the man that eliminated him in the quarterfinal round of the 2024 Wimbledon Open few months ago, besting Daniil Medvedev of Russia 6-2 1-6 6-1 6-4. The 13th head-to-head showdown between these two top-tier competitors in the ATP Tour produced a number of highlights, but it was the five breakpoint conversations that gave Sinner the edge to pull away from Medvedev in the fourth set. Draper, meanwhile, has yet to need a fifth or even fourth set to beat his last five opponents after five rounds of Grand Slam tennis. The up-and-coming Brit reached the semifinal of the 2024 US Open by sweeping all of his opponents, the latest was Alex de Minaur of Australia 6-3 7-5 6-2 in the quarterfinal round. Draper fired 11 aces and won 84 percent of his first serves to dictate the tempo and keep de Minaur on the losing end of every meaningful rally in the match.
