He is the first British man to reach the last four at Flushing Meadows since Andy Murray lifted the title in 2012. Draper, whose previous best performance at a Major was the fourth round, dispatched the Australian 6-3 7-5 6-2 on what was his debut appearance on the Arthur Ashe Court. He has not dropped a set in New York and his run here is echoing another British success story when Emma Raducanu shocked the world by winning the women’s title in 2021.

However, he is now in the final year of his Liverpool contract and at 32-years-old he is at an age where players traditionally enter the twilight of their careers.
