British No.1 tennis star Jack Draper has reached the first major quarter-final of his career after securing a place in the last eight of the 2024 US Open.
Draper, seen by many as the heir to retired icon Andy Murray, has enjoyed his best year on the ATP Tour, registering his first title in Stuttgart in June.
The 22-year-old has climbed the ranks – passing the likes of Cameron Norrie – and enters Flushing Meadows as the 25th seed in men’s singles.
Draper recorded wins over Zhang Zhizhen, Facundo Diaz Acosta and Botic van de Zandschulp – who eliminated Carlos Alcaraz – before taking on Tomas Machac.
