Jack Draper reveals the advice he received from Andy Murray before his incredible US Open run

Jack Draper is seamlessly filling the void left in British tennis after the retirement of Andy Murray with his emphatic run to the US Open semi-finals.

The 22-year-old continues to capture hearts as he blitzes his way into the last four at Flushing Meadows without dropping a set.

Draper knew he was facing his toughest challenge yet in the form of world number 10 Alex de Minaur, with the Australian prevailing in each of their previous three meetings.

However, Draper’s newfound aggressive approach continues to prove successful with another straight sets win, triumphing 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 and penciling in a semi-final clash with world number one Jannik Sinner on Friday.

In doing so, Draper has become the first man to reach the semi-finals of the US Open since Murray in 2012, offering a glimpse of the promising future that lies in store for the young Brit.

Jack Draper reflects on advice from Andy Murray

Andy Murray reached dizzying heights in the sport, and there have been doubts over whether the same accolades would be achievable by any of the rising British stars.

However, over the past fortnight in New York, Jack Draper has stepped up to the challenge with an awe-inspiring run to the semi-finals.

Fittingly it comes just a month after the 37-year-old hung his racket up at the Olympics in Paris.
