Draper set to net millions after following in Murray's footsteps to reach US Open semis

The 22-year-old, who was born in Sutton, south London, and grew up in nearby Ashtead, Surrey, defeated Alex de Minaur 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 last night to reach his first grand slam semi-final.

He is yet to drop a set during his fairytale run in New York and will next play world No1 Jannik Sinner on Friday for a place in the final.

Draper said afterwards: “It’s amazing, honestly. To be out here in my first match on the biggest court in the world, honestly it’s a dream come true for me.
