World number one Sinner will face American Taylor Fritz in Sunday’s Flushing Meadows decider.
JACK DRAPER WAS sick on court four times as his US Open dream ended in semi-final heartbreak following a straight-sets defeat to Jannik Sinner .
He left everything out on court, literally, as the physical exertion took its toll and he vomited several times. Sinner came into the tournament under a cloud following his anti-doping scandal, where he avoided a ban despite two positive tests earlier in the year, but has proved his tough mentality to power through to a first final at Flushing Meadows.
Sinner broke to 5-5 and then served it out to take the opening set and end Draper’s 15-set winning streak. Draper bizarrely asked for a can of coke during the third set, but it was just a taste of defeat for him as Sinner ran away with it. And if he beats Sinner in Sunday’s final – one of the biggest events in US sports – he will emulate Roddick’s 2003 success, the last time an American man won at Flushing Meadows.
