De Minaur is like Norrie and David Ferrer before him. Extremely limited players, who make the most of their skills, but with no weapons will always come up short against the very top players.
Draper is left handed, a rarity in the current game and his serve is a major weapon. I have read that he is actually right handed, hence why his backhand is almost as strong as the forehand.
Jack Draper makes his first slam Semi final against the World num 8. Now he faces either Sinner, the world num 1 and Australian open winner in 24 or Daniel Medvedev the world num 5 and USA open winner 21. The giant Russian has a better record at Flushing meadows than Sinner but again a 50/50 match.
Jack had to step up to beat De Minaur who he had a 0-3 record against. Draper will have to play the match of his life to win over a possible 5 sets in the Semi final regardless who he plays.

yes, like Nadal; both right handed otherwise, including golf for Nadal - I read his golf swing is like a left-handed back hand
Mingge Xu through to the Girls' semi final in New York
3 of the 8 Boys'/Girls' semi-finalists this year are Brits (Mika Stojsavljevic and Charlie Robertson being the other two), which is pretty impressive. Xu has already won one lower-level seniors tournament, while only 16 y/o

If he’s able to get to the final, he’d jump no. 14 and winning the entire thing would boost him further to no. 12.
Sinner takes the first 6-2.
Medvedev takes the second 6-1.
Believe, Jack.
Fritz v Tiafoe to follow that.
On serve at 5-4 in the second set with over two hours played already. Draper has thrown up twice in the last 10-15 minutes.
Sorry
