He reached the semi-finals without losing a set, wrote the most beautiful page in his career so far, but he didn't have many chances against Janik Siner...
British tennis player Jack Draper failed to reach the finals of the US Open, and during the duel with Sinner, he struggled so much that he threw up "Arthur Ashe" on the court several times.
The heat and high humidity in New York contributed to everything, but as he discovered after the match and not only that...
"I'm an anxious person, I struggle with anxiety. I'm very bad on the court when things get tight," said Draper.
The British man vomited, then cleaned everything with a towel, and tried various ways to cool down.
"When you play against top players, everything is different. It was a big opportunity for me, and I was definitely a little more nervous than usual," added the guy from London.
DON'T MISS IT
Support for Draper also came from rivals in the semifinals.
"We've known each other for a very long time, we're good friends... The Grand Slam semifinal is something special, you just feel a lot of tension inside," says Siner.
The Italian tennis player will play against the American Taylor Fritz in the US Open final.
