2024 US Open Men’s Singles

[mehdimike]

Draper with 3 nice clean winners in a row to reach the semifinals.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

GTFI Jack......still not dropped a set.

Until he drops 3 in the next match

 

[zuluzazu]

Jack Draper is a US Open semi finalist.

Is Draper worse than Ginepri?? I havent seen Ginepri play much but his stats are not good at all

 

[junior74]

An Old Fashioned and a pack of Luckies

Simple, but significant

 

[ibbi]

Getting to the semifinal without dropping a set is pretty epic, regardless of everything else.

 

[bigjimbofan]

No sets lost in this tourney but will lose 3 in the semi finals. Will be pulling for him though.

 

[Krish872007]

Well done Draper! Not the best match quality wise, but got it done

Interesting that he hasn't dropped a set yet. I don't see him getting past either Medvedev or Sinner - but stranger things have happened...

 

[fedfan24]

Well played draper. Hopefully we never have to see Di Minaur at this stage of a slam again.

 

[zuluzazu]

What if Sinner Meddy kill each other and the winner cant move properly in the SF. Will we witness jack Draper win a slam without dropping a set before Novak freakin Djokovic lol

 

[Vincent-C]

Good.

 

[abmk]

When Ginepri and Draper have a USO semi, but James Blake does not.

 

[abmk]

TBH Sinner this year has been quite strong mentally but Alcaraz is still better than him

better than before for sure, but wouldn't call Sinner mentally strong even now. maybe ok/meh.

 

[Carax]

In my opinion, Draper would take down Sinner, but lose against Med.

 

[ibbi]

Jack is always making jokes in his on-court interviews here, and the crowd never laughs. Can they really not understand his accent or something, or do they just hate the English?

 

[TennisFan3]

In my opinion, Draper would take down Sinner, but lose against Med.

Draper has NO CHANCE against Sinner or Medvedev assuming both are fit.
Draper is a tier 3/tier 4 player who got lucky and is generally at least 2 levels below Medvedev and 3 levels below Sinner skillwise.
The fact that Draper made it to the SF of the UsOpen just tells us this is a WEAK ERA.

 

[Vincent-C]

Did they just put a picture of Medjedovic instead of Medvedev in the QF line-up?

"Always be closing."

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

In my opinion, Draper would take down Sinner, but lose against Med.

lol

 

[Mustard]

There's certainly a contrast in their runs. Ginepri won 3 consecutive 5-setters (against Haas, Gasquet and Coria) and then lost another 5-setter (to Agassi), while Draper hasn't dropped a set yet.

Also, Draper beat Zandschulp (who beat Alcaraz) while Ginepri beat Muller (who beat Roddick).

 

[TennisFan3]

I'm a little sad because the only match left to watch this UsOpen is Sinner vs Medvedev.
The winner of that match will win the title by beating Draper - Fritz/Tiafoe very convicingly. None of those matches would even be worth watching.
If I had bought tickets for the SF or F, I'd ask for money back.

 

[Al Czervik]

Cool shoes, bro.

Americans will enjoy watching Fritz v Tiafoe

No gay, but Draper, damn...

Draper is only 22 and this is his first real season with no injury. How can you tell? He can serve and volley, play the drop shots, can power from the back of the court, has one hell of a first serve when it goes in..... he has all the tools. Oh and he has beaten Alcatraz and Sinner already. He is still learning. He is behind the top 4 but he can get closer.

 

[Dunlop300g]

Let's Go Team Dunlop!! Jack Draper is into the Semi's !!

 

[Gooner89]

Americans will enjoy watching Fritz v Tiafoe

Anything with Fritz in and I'd definitely want my money back.

 

[Carax]

lol

That's kind of how I felt every time that you hyped a journeyman against your favorite player over the last years.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Don't hype it up too much

Sinner may just bulldoze meddy tonight

Real final lol. This is qf. And meddy has 1 slam and sinner may have won 2 by end of this week.

They have 1 slam each, Medvedev took him to the limit in Australia and has been one of the best hardcourt players in the world the last 4 years. This should be a Finals quality level match in a tournament with other players left who have never even sniffed a finals. It is essentially the real final.

 

[Juice4080]

Im not seeing what everyone is seeing. Draper to me is a guy that can beat anyone right now including Sinner and Meddy. His hold and break numbers gives him a considerable chance at the upset

Sinner is just turned 23. 2 weeks back he was 22.

They have 1 slam each and Sinner has 16 titles and Medvedev 20

Sinner won 8 titles since Meddy won 1.

 

[ibbi]

Cool shoes, bro.

The man respects HISTORY

 

[nolefam_2024]

Last year by Rome , Sinner had not won a masters, reached a slam SF and had only 8 titles.

Meddy had 20 titles. He did not win another title while Sinner became number 1 despite being injured in clay season this year.

 

[zuluzazu]

I really pity the people having tickets for the SF and the F. Tonight night session will be the best session to attend and the quality will only decrease from here. I would be crying tears of blood if I had bought tickets for SF thinking Alcaraz v Sinner and no way I could have sold them at decent price without making a loss

I don't mind seeing Draper in a USO semi, at all. Hope his body holds together (and am glad he took out that dude in straights, too).

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

True

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

A bit of a difference going from what he’s faced to sinner/meddy. He will be brought down to earth with a bump.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Draper has one good run and he’s getting hyped to the moon. Sinner/meddy being underrated as usual. Especially sinner who been the best HC player in the world for over 12 months and longer.

 

[Aabye5]

Jack does hold a 1-0 advantage over good buddy Jannik.

Maybe

His numbers are good enough except on return in play win %.

He would give them as much trouble as a fritz. Nole last year demolished Fritz 6-1 6-4 6-4

But Nole went 5 against Fritz in 2021.

 

[Larry Duff]

Most of the imbeciles in the stadium can't get humo{u}r.

 

[nolefam_2024]

But Nole went 5 against Fritz in 2021.

Yes, after ab injury. Nadal also went 5 in 2022

Fritz is good player and most likely never winning a slam. But that doesn't mean he is loser, he is limited player.

 

[Vincent-C]

Is Draper really being "hyped to the moon"? I'm not seeing it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

A few on here are. As he’s not dropped a set yet.

 

[nolefam_2024]

Not dropped a set is understatement. He is steamrolling

Meddy? Yes. Sinner? A guy that's been penciled to win multiple CYGS when none of the B3 were able to do it is underrated? Please

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Meddy? Yes. Sinner? A guy that's been penciled to win multiple CYGS when none of the B3 were able to do it is underrated? Please

Well if some think draper can beat Sinner then he’s being underrated in this case!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Not dropped a set is understatement. He is steamrolling

He has played mugs so far.

 

[Vincent-C]

Good job so far, Jack! I'm sure SinMed will have other plans for the lad.

 

[nolefam_2024]

He has played mugs so far.

Disagree. Botic and ADM are good players. He crushed both.

 

[Pheasant]

If Draper somehow wins the title, then there will be threads talking about how he will win 6-7 Calendar Year Grand Slams en route to 50 slam titles for his career.

Joking aside, it was fun watching him completely destroy de Minaur today. This kid has game. Hopefully, he can stay healthy and become a threat. I enjoy his game.
