In his latest win against Alex de Minaur, the No. 25 seed won an impressive 84% of points on first serve while being able to keep up with the Aussie, who is considered one of the best movers on tour.
Draper’s biggest concern has been physicality; however, against de Minaur, he was able to hold his own, showing few worries regarding endurance.
On Friday, the first-time semifinalist will face the toughest take yet against either Jannik Sinner or Daniil Medvedev.
To defeat either of these opponents, who are considered two of the best on the hard-court surface, Draper must perform exceptionally well, particularly from first serve, where he’s perhaps most effective.
