Jannik Sinner overcomes injury, Jack Draper reaches the final of the US Open

NEW YORK – Top seed Jannik Sinner completed a 7-5, 7-6 (3), 6-2 win over Jack Draper to reach his first U.S. Open final – and his second at a Grand Slam tournament this year – after the two were treated simultaneously by trainers on a muggy day Friday afternoon.

Sinner, a 23-year-old Italian who was cleared of a doping case less than a week before the tournament began, had to have his left wrist massaged at a change of ends after falling on a point he could have won late in the second set.

During the same stoppage, 22-year-old Briton Draper, seeded 25th, received medical attention after vomiting twice on the court between points.

While both participants were being examined, the turf behind the baseline, where Draper had vomited, was being cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. It was an unusual sight, to say the least, in Arthur Ashe Stadium, where the temperature was just above 25 degrees and the humidity was over 60 percent.

Sinner, the first Italian in tennis history to reach the US Open singles final, awaits the winner of the all-American semifinal between Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe later on Friday.

Sinner, who won the Australian Open in January, is looking to become the third man in the Open era to win his first two major titles in the same calendar year, joining Jimmy Connors, who won his first three major titles in 1974, and Guillermo Vilas, who won in 1977.
