It’s 4:4!

The Australian refuses to give in to Draper’s power.

Draper seems to have lost some concentration, because suddenly he is behind 40-0.

With a shaky backhand, Draper collapses under the pressure and de Minaur manages a decisive break and hopefully a new found momentum.

This service game went back and forth a bit.

After proudly building a 40-0 lead, Draper falters after a strong serve and is turned around by a jumping passing shot, bringing de Minaur back into the game at 30-40.

de Minaur gives Draper the advantage, break point.

But not this time. The players equalise a few times at deuce, until Draper’s ball finally flies too far and de Minaur is able to hold his serve.

In the second set the score is 4:3.

What a fight from both players!!

Draper had chances to end the game early, but de Minaur held on.

Unfortunately, Draper’s serve is just too good. He finishes the game with an ace, which seems to be a crucial shot to keep his momentum going.

The Briton leads 4:2.

Hopefully this is the boost Alex is looking for.

Draper secured a break point with a rapid forehand shot, but the Australian simply did not let up.

Tied at deuce, an ace gives Demon the early advantage and this time he quickly has the upper hand. A roar of “Come on!” as the Sydneysider walks over to his chair.

Draper leads 3-2.

Draper collapses again… and the physiotherapist arrives.

The British number 1 slipped slightly at the end of the first set and now wants to have his hamstring checked. It looks like his right thigh will be bandaged.

But de Minaur also appears to be injured. He has flexed his hip. Medical staff appear to be waiting nearby in the wing in case they are needed.

Draper leads the second set 3-1.

Good energy from the Australian, which we didn’t see much of in the first set.

He holds on at the beginning of the second set and takes the lead for the first time in the match.

But Draper fought back with his serve. The left-hander only lost one point on his first serve in the first set.

The score is 1:1.

A double fault from Draper gives de Minaur a lifeline!

But he doesn’t score. Draper manages to win the first set in 39 minutes with a brilliant forehand.

Smart tennis from the young Brit. This is the 13th set in a row that Draper has won at this tournament.

We see a tennis performance that is untypical for de Minaur. We are not used to his game showing so many weaknesses.

But he holds on. The Australian was close to losing the first set four times in his service game, but he saved himself each time.

Hewitt tells de Minaur to stay in the rallies, but that’s difficult when Draper is serving a lot of aces.

Draper leads 5:3.

de Minaur seems to feel the pressure of Draper’s consistency.

His first serve percentage is 50 percent and he has already made nine unforced errors that he would not be happy with.

de Minaur has a lot of work ahead of him if he wants to get back into the first set.

de Minaur is very confident with his volleys and has quick feet, but that apparently isn’t enough.

The left-hander uses his aces and forehand to complete the serve, making up for his two previous double faults in his last service game with two aces and a fantastic forehand winner.

The score is 4:1, a good start for the Brit.

Two double faults give de Minaur a breakback chance.

And the Australian prevails! He lets out a “Come on.” An excellent response after a slow start.

The Australian has a rocky start. He is not finishing his groundstrokes as he would probably like.

0-30 becomes 15-40 when Draper wins a brilliant shot at the net.

Draper leads the first set 2-0.

The Brit is absolutely reliable with his forehand. An unreturned serve to open the match before a rally led to victory. An ace in the middle kept him on the ball.

The game is guaranteed to be lovable.

The conditions at Arthur Ashe Stadium are beautiful and calm.

But it’s not that busy… maybe the hot sun keeps people away?

When tossing a coin, De Minaur chooses the preserver.

Both players are warming up. The Australian lets out his inner Nadal and jumps up and down on the court.

The game is expected to start in a few minutes.

In direct comparison de Minaur is undefeated against Draper.

In addition, the Australian reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam men’s singles as the highest-ranked player for the first time in his career.

One could say that de Minaur can only lose from now on.

But as we all know, anything can happen in tennis and past results do not give a complete picture.

And we must not forget that the 22-year-old Draper not lost a set in this tournament in a Grand Slam run, the best of his career.

He should be refreshed for this fight.
