NEW YORK (AP) — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner finished off a 7-5, 7-6 (3), 6-2 victory over Jack Draper to reach his first final at the U.S.
NEW YORK — Top-ranked Jannik Sinner finished off a 7-5, 7-6 , 6-2 victory over Jack Draper to reach his first final at the U.S. Open — and second at a Grand Slam tournament his year — after they simultaneously received treatment from trainers on a humid afternoon Friday.
While both competitors were being looked at, a vacuum was being used to clean up the green ground behind the baseline where Draper had thrown up, finishing the cleaning job he tried to do himself by wiping the court with a towel. It was, to say the least, an unusual scene at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the temperature was in the high 70s and the humidity was above 60%.
The women's final on Saturday also will feature an American, with No. 6 Jessica Pegula taking on No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus. He is as pure a ball-striker as there is in the men’s game at the moment, and while Draper’s left-handed power and good hands — whether following his serves to the net or simply finding other times to hit volleys, he won 22 of the 34 points when he moved forward — made some inroads, Sinner got better and better the longer exchanges went.
