The 22-year-old defeated the 10th seed from Australia 6-3 7-5 6-2. He is yet to lose a set in New York.
In order to qualify for his first-ever Grand Slam final, he will now take on world No. 1 Jannik Sinner on Friday.
The 25th seed stated, “This is not an overnight thing for me.”
“I thought I performed at a good level today, and I saw some really amazing things.
“I still have some levels to go if I get pushed.”
Since Andy, Draper is the first British player to advance to the men’s singles semifinals at Flushing Meadows.
Since he was a young boy, he has been highly regarded. At the age of 19, he defeated Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon junior final and made his Grand Slam debut at SW19. However, he struggled to adjust to life on the road and missed a significant portion of the 2023 season due to injuries.
According to Draper, “last year was a real turning point for me.”
“I had to watch all of these young, incredible players win incredible tournaments and perform on the biggest stages in the world during my injury setbacks.
