Jack Draper hurtled into the second week of the US Open as he beat Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets to reach the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
The British No 1 cruised to a 6-3 6-4 6-2 victory in just over two hours against the Dutchman, who had produced one of the greatest upsets in modern Grand Slam history by knocking out Carlos Alcaraz earlier in the week. In doing so he set up a fourth-round clash with Tomas Machac following the Czech's win over David Goffin, with Draper eyeing a spot in the US Open quarter-finals for the first time in his career.
The third would become more of a formality as Draper asserted his dominance, back-to-back double faults from Van de Zandschulp gifting Draper the break to make it 3-2 in favour of the Brit. Three successive double faults from Van de Zandschulp offered Draper three break points, only one of which he needed to take a 5-2 advantage to leave him in position to serve out for the match.
