Jannik Sinner Advances to U.S. Open Final Overcoming Heat and Injury

Italian top seed Jannik Sinner overcame both muggy conditions and a wrist injury to defeat Briton Jack Draper and secure a spot in the U.S. Open final. Draper struggled in the oppressive heat, vomiting multiple times during the match. Sinner previously won the Australian Open and will face the outcome of an all-American semifinal.

Italian top seed Jannik Sinner overcame both muggy conditions and a wrist injury to defeat Briton Jack Draper 7-5, 7-6(3), 6-2, securing a spot in the U.S. Open final on Friday at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Sinner, who appeared to suffer a wrist injury after a fall in the second set, rallied impressively to reach his second major final of the year, having previously won the Australian Open. Draper, hampered by the intense heat and humidity, vomited three times during the match and struggled to find his rhythm.

With ten double faults further undermining his performance, Draper could not withstand Sinner's resilience. Sinner now awaits the winner of the semifinal match between Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe.
