Hmm, Jack was leading 4-1 in the 3rd set.
Both held so Jack is serving for the match at *5-2 but Machac has a break point at *30-40. Now deuce.
So, C'mon Jack Draper - just 2 little points for the win!

Jack did it!!!
6'3, 6'1, 6'2. Into the Quarter-Finals at the USO.
Jack has won 6-3 6-1 6-2 and into the quarters :clap: :cheer: :yahoo: :yahoo:
1997 with Rusedski was the last time a brit got to the US quarters without losing a set.
Such a strong performance from Jack, Machac did not know what had hit him (even if below par). Did have a few break points but Draper shut the door-awesome!:cheer::cheer:
Likely to be tougher in the quarters mind you.
Jack will be playing the winner of de Minaur and Thompson. That match is 4th on Louis Armstrong not before 10 pm.
Lets hope it is a long 5 setter.
Doubles not going so well ...
Salisbury, Patten and Watson are out ...
Leaves Skupski and Nicholls to play.
Well done Jack!! :cheer::cheer:
Congrats to Jack. Enjoyed that match.
Well done to Jack. Russell Fuller played an interview he did with James Trotman, on radio Five Live last night. James (Trotman) talked about Jack going back to his first fitness trainer Steve Kotze.
Fritz has just beaten Zverev
:thumbup:
Arevalo/Pavic d Skupski/Venus 7'6(1), 6'1
Good luck to Jack Draper. Russell Fuller said on radio Five Live, last night, they'll will be doing live commentary on radio Five Live on Jack's match from 7pm (19.00pm), if the Haddad Maia vs Muchova match finishes before then.
Jack vs de Minaur is 2nd on Arthur Ashe. First match starting at 5.00 pm, so a 7 pm start is estimated.
Good contest betwen Fritz and Zverev but Taylor was stronger. A challenge for Jack but has a shot here, hopefully plays well against De Minaur.
De Minaur had hardly any practice - commies speculating as to why. Ill or injured etc. ??????
Jack has done it. Into the semis in 3 sets and a fifth consecutive 3 set victory. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Jack will play the winner of Sinner and Medvedev in the semis on Friday.
:yahoo:
Well done Jack!!!
He'll play Sinner or Medvedev in the Semi-Final.
:oops:
Cazza already said that ...
:lol:
Brilliant, just brilliant :bravo::GBflag:
A marvellous performance from Draper, took it to De Minaur and crucially found the form when it became tighter in the 2nd. Alex was not at his best physically so a factor but Jack in a rich vein of form.:cheer::cheer:
Awesome play from Jack!
Utterly magnificent. I could say it's a shame he has to meet Sinner next but then I suppose he's dodged Alcaraz and Djokovic so can't complain. Plus he's got nothing to lose and the stats in the previous 2 rounds were against him. Just hope he puts up a good showing.
Well done to Jack.
Jack vs Sinner is not before 8.00 pm tomorrow.
Great match from Jack. Will be traveling tomorrow so not sure I'll be able to watch.
Sinner d Draper 7'5, 7'6(3), 6'2
Terrific fight from Jack and those first 2 sets were so close it could have gone either way. Physically though the Brit struggled; in the 2nd set he threw up 2, possibly 3, times and also had to change his shoes because so much sweat from them was affecting the court.
Both players had the doctor on at one stage; Sinner for an injured left wrist and Jack for sickness.
Kudos to Jack for not giving up and putting his heart and soul into that match - he gave Sinner a tough ask to beat him but the Italian has more experience of being at that stage of a Slam (and going on to win it) which was a major factor in his win.
No idea which American will make it thought to the Final against Sinner.
Personally I hope it is Fritz but whatevvs .....
:tennis:
Such a close match. Imagine if Jack had been firing on all cylinders. He looked spent.
yes great effort from Jack but it was a very physical match and could not sustain it in the 3rd. A lot of his service games were extended , not quite at highest level but obviously Sinner put him under a lot of pressure. pity about the sickness,Draper did say it sometimes happens in tough moments.
Fritz will play the world no1 in the final after coming through over Tiafoe 6-1 in the 5th, The match though was not much longer than the 1st semi.
Huge congratulations to Mika Stojsavljevic, who has won the girls' title :clap::GBflag::trophy:
Fab for Mika,well done!
Well done Mika :clap:
Mika is only 15 years old too.
Sinner the winner ... USO Champion!
:trophy:
6'3, 6'4, 7'5.
Not to be for Taylor Fritz in front of his home crowd but he made it tough
for the Italian, especially in the 3rd set.
Delighted for Sinner and given the scoreline, doesn't it emphasise how well Jack did even though not 100%? Bring it on Jack!
Yes, agreed!!
I was glad Sinner got his 2nd slam, would have been interesting had it gone to a 4th set but Fritz did not really match the world no1 on the big points. yes it does show Jack in a good light.
