Jack Draper proved his quality to reach the semi-finals of the US Open with a straight-sets victory over Alex De Minaur on Wednesday night, says Sky Sports expert Tim Henman. So far at Flushing Meadows, Draper is yet to drop a set and is the first player to go 14-0 in sets at the US Open since Emma Raducanu, who won the tournament in 2021. He was tested at times in his match with De Minaur and Henman believes that demonstrated Draper's true capabilities.
He came out, stamped his authority on the first set and looked comfortable and then in the second set he had a lot of opportunities. 'But De Minaur's never going to go away. He's a great competitor and he hung in and suddenly has to serve to stay in the second set at 4-5. 'He played a couple of great games to hold serve, to break serve and then to finish it off. Then at two sets to love he was in such a strong position.' Henman believes De Minaur will come again.
