It’s not possible. Jack Draper was left at the gate of the US Open grand final after losing this Friday to Jannik Sinner in the first semifinal of the tournament.
The world number 1 won 7-5, 7-6 (3) and 6-2 in 3h.03′, in an eventful match where he had to treat his hand after Draper fell and threw up.
Fortunately, the accident was not serious and the Sinner was able to continue without a problem. and ends up sealing his pass to what would be his first New York Grand Slam final.
After the game, Sinner and Draper embrace in a sporty hug.a sign of the good relationship that both have maintained since the time they played together in doubles, and which was confirmed in the press room.
There the Briton was asked about the weak point of the number 1 of the world, and his response was, to say the least, strange.
“What is your weakness? He doesn’t have much, friend. A. I don’t know. Maybe I’m too kind” Draper said with a laugh.
A few minutes later Sinner came and was asked about that subject. “No, that’s not true. We know each other well. We had the opportunity to play doubles together. Sometimes we give each other some tactics, you know, for example, when he has to play against some players, you know, sometimes if he asks me, I give him some things to try to play against them. Obviously I know I’m right-handed and he’s left-handed, so it’s really different,” said the Italian.
“At the net, you know, sometimes I miss some volleys. The shot selection is still the same sometimes, I feel like I can improve a bit. There are also little things, the little details that make a big difference at the high level . Of course, my team and I know what we need to improve. For example, now maybe I should climb a little more at the net and all that,” he added before praising his rival.
“I’m pretty confident, because I know he has the potential to win some major titles in the future.because he’s hard to deal with, he has a great attitude on the court, he works hard. “It all comes together, which, yeah, is cool to see,” he concluded.
