Jack Draper Makes History at the US Open Quarter-Finals
In an electrifying display of skill and determination, Jack Draper has secured his spot in the US Open quarter-finals after dominating his fourth-round match against Czech player Tomas Machac. As the last Brit standing in the draw, Draper is carrying the hopes of a nation on his shoulders and has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court.
Ranked 25th in the world, Draper’s journey to the quarter-finals has been nothing short of remarkable. The left-hander from Sutton has shown incredible growth and resilience, overcoming injuries and doubts to reach this stage of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in his career. With top players like Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz already out of the competition, the path is clear for Draper to make a historic run at the US Open title.
A New Chapter for Jack Draper
Reflecting on his journey to the quarter-finals, Draper expressed a sense of confidence and maturity that was missing in previous years. He credits his improved performance to a renewed focus on his fitness and a reunion with his old fitness trainer, who has helped him regain his form and play with more confidence on the ATP Tour. Draper’s growth as a player is evident in his dominant victory over Botic Van de Zandschulp in the fourth round, where he displayed both skill and mental toughness to secure the win.
“I feel very different now. I’m not waking up every day worried about playing five sets,” Draper said, emphasizing his newfound sense of calm and belief in his abilities. With the retirement of his tennis idol Andy Murray earlier this year, Draper has taken on the role of leading British men’s tennis and is proving that he is more than capable of rising to the occasion on the biggest stage.
A Bright Future Ahead

With his powerful serve, aggressive playing style, and newfound confidence, Draper has all the makings of a future Grand Slam champion. His journey from a promising young talent to a legitimate contender on the ATP Tour is a testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see what Draper will achieve in the remainder of the tournament and beyond.
