JACK DRAPER staged a breathtaking performance to storm his way to the US Open semi-finals.
The British No.1 reached the last four without dropping a set by blowing away world No.10 Alex de Minaur 6-3 7-5 6-2.
The last two Brits to reach this stage in New York - Andy Murray in 2012 and Emma Raducanu in 2021 - went on to win the title.
"It's amazing," said Draper, 22.
"To be out here for my first match on the biggest court in the world, it's a dream come true for me. Thank you for the support, it means the world."
De Minaur had to pull out of Wimbledon after tearing a hip cartilage and was still suffering from the injury in quarter-final.
