Draper taps into wisdom of Murray at US Open
Jack Draper, of Great Britain, returns a shot to Botic van De Zandschulp, of the Netherlands, during the third round of the U.S. Open tennis championships, August 31, in New York. 2024

JACK DRAPER is daring to dream big in New York and is not ready to stop at the US Open quarter-finals tomorrow.

By thrashing Tomas Machac on Monday, Draper became the first British man to reach the last eight since Andy Murray in 2016.

He has yet to drop a set in his opening four matches, with his form echoing that of fellow Briton Emma Raducanu, who claimed the US Open title in 2021.
