The number one tennis player in the world, Janik Siner, defeated Danilo Medvedev last night (3:1) and for the first time in his career he reached the semi-finals of the US Open.
Siner will play against Draper in the semi-finals, while the other semi-final pair consists of Fritz and Tijafo, so the Italian is the only remaining tennis player who has won a Grand Slam in his career.
"I don't feel like a big favorite. Everyone who reached the semifinals did so fully deservedly. Against every opponent, you have to approach the same, find a solution. That's what I do. Of course, now it's the semifinals, the matches are different. I'm certainly lucky which I already had the opportunity to experience. It will be interesting," said Siner.
