Jack Draper vs Jannik Sinner LIVE! Latest result & reaction after US Open semi-final

The best part of two-and-a-half hours had been played by the time Sinner breezed through a tie-break at the end of that set to close in on victory, the race appearing to be increasingly run for an exhausted Draper, and so it proved. Sinner ruthlessly moved towards the finish line, wrapping up a 7-5 7-6 6-2 win. He will face either Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe in Sunday’s final. That a straight-sets victory took a little over three hours pointed to a extraordinarily gutsy effort from Draper, who from near enough the first game appeared to be battling the conditions and his body, as well as his close friend on the other side of the net. Dripping with sweat throughout, he struggled to grip his racket as early as the first set.
