Draper's the real deal, might not be at the level of Alcaraz or Sinner but he'll be pushing them soon.

Yep. I'm very excited to see how he progresses over the years.
Hopefully he can go all the way like Andy Murray and win repeated tournaments unlike a certain female!
I'm probably being harsh and unfair on her but although winning the US open, she has been nothing but a frustrating disappointment.
She has some incredible moves but if only she could play like it all the time.

Raducanu just needs consistency.
She's finally had a spell without injury and now needs to find the right balance between practice and matches.
She's technically as good as anyone on tour, dangerous from both wings, great defence and even better offense but you can't win matches if you don't play.
As for the US Open, it's Drugs cheat vs Medvedev up next in the quarter final, got to fancy the winner going on to lift the trophy.

Can’t see it myself to be honest - hardly a big shout though!

British lad doing really well at the moment!
Great time to break!
Holds here thats game over with the way this has been going.
*edit*
3 set points… 1 set point…
Gets it. That should be that.

Draper spanked de Minaur last night and now faces the genetically modified drugs cheat.
Swiatek also got wrecked by Pegula, great tournament for the Americans so far.

Got to feel he has to win this set though.

Who won

A little wobble from Sabalenka in the send set, but a pretty good victory overall.
Only dropped 5 sets in her last 4 grand slams on hardcourt, and only 2 this year. That is impressive.
Catching Iga on GS titles now, and her game is still getting better.
Not particularly excited for the Mens' USO final this year. Neither Sinner or Fritz are entertaining. I expect it to be quite one-sided. Sinner is pretty on it.

One of them but hopefully both need to improve on the surface that the other excels at for it to be good. Even though she’s won a US she’s not the best on hard court to consistently get deep for their to build a rivalry.
Yeh, the men’s final going to be a complete meh

Yup, as expected.
It’s just a shame it wasn’t a bit more competitive. It’s going to have a cloud over it, would have been lifted if an American won it though but right now we’ve got a controversial winner that won’t help the sport at all.
