Late in the evening of Friday, September 6, 23-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner and 22-year-old British Jack Draper will face each other in the semifinals (1/2 final) at the US Open. Tennis players have only met at a professional level once, and that was more than three years ago. As for the quotes for today’s match, according to bookmakers, Sinner is the absolute favorite in the fight. You can bet on Yannick’s victory with odds of 1.17, while Draper’s success is estimated at 5.86 points.
At the current US Open, Jannik Sinner plays like the first racket of the world. In five matches of the tournament, the Italian has given only two sets to his opponents (one to Medvedev and one to MacDonald). Sinner lost the same number of matches at the recent Masters in Cincinnati, where he won the title. Given the departure from the tournament of all the other representatives of the top 5 (Djokovic, Alcaraz, Zverev and Medvedev), it seems that Yannick is literally doomed to win the Major in New York. Recall that this season the Italian has already won a helmet. On January 28, Sinner celebrated his victory over Medvedev in the final of the Australian Open. On the way to his, perhaps, second victory at the TBS, Yannick proved himself even stronger than the Russian. In the quarterfinals, the Italian defeated Daniil with a score of 6:2, 1:6, 6:1, 6:4. Interestingly, in the entire history of US Open performances, Sinner has reached the quarterfinals only once before the current tournament – in 2022.
Jack Draper is having the best season of his career. The Briton started the year as the 61st racket in the world, and from next Monday he will enter the top 20 for the first time. He has only one title so far, won three months ago in Stuttgart. However, it is worth noting that Draper has tasted victories over the representatives of the top 10. During this season, Jack defeated Alcaraz, Tsitsipas and de Minaur. However, the Briton has not shown anything to the Helmets so far. His best performance was the fourth round (1/8 finals). In the quarterfinals, Draper, to the surprise of many, confidently defeated the Australian Alex de Minaur in three sets – 6:3, 7:5, 6:2.
In 2021, the only head-to-head meeting between Sinner and Draper took place on the “five hundred” in London (the surface is grass). Then, Jack beat Yannick in two tiebreakers. The Italian and the Briton will face each other hard for the first time.
