OF THE men left in the US Open singles draw, no player is less fancied in the eyes of the bookmakers than Jack Draper.

Draper on cruise control so far, but faces greatest test yet on biggest stage

But the lowest-ranked player left in the tournament, at No25, will be perfectly at ease with his underdog status.

Like Emma Raducanu in her title win in New York in 2021, Draper has not faced a seed at this stage of the tournament, but, like his fellow Briton then, has yet to drop a set.

In fact, he averages just 8.5 games lost per match, and even admitted himself he was surprised with how easy he has found getting to the quarter-final stage. If anything, his only problem so far has been losing his focus at times.
