The 22-year-old Draper must now defeat the top player in the men’s game to become just the fourth Briton to advance to the men’s singles final.
When Draper and Jannik Sinner, the 25th seed, face up in New York on Friday, Jannik Sinner, the reigning Italian world number one, appears to have moved past the issue surrounding his positive drug test.
An American man will be waiting in the final, and the match that follows will pit Taylor Fritz against Frances Tiafoe.
Greg Rusedski, a former US Open finalist, believes his fellow British player has “a real shot” at pulling an upset.
As he is not the favorite, there aren’t many expectations for him,” big-serving lefty Rusedski, who finished second in 1997, told Sport.
Jack has a great chance if he can play freely.
On the Sport website and app, there will be live written commentary starting at 19:00 BST.
Rusedski assists Sport in analyzing Draper’s potential strategy for defeating Sinner.
