Draper could even rise as high as 14th should he beat Sinner to reach the championship match.

What is his Grand Slam record?
Draper has never won a Grand Slam title.
His best-ever result in a Grand Slam is now this upcoming semi-final at the US Open.
Before this, it was reaching the fourth round at last year’s event in New York that was his best.
At Wimbledon, Draper has never gone past the second round and it’s the same for him in the Australian Open.
He achieved those results earlier this year while his last two entries into the French Open have ended in first-round losses.
