Jack Draper 

Continuing his fantastic form in New York, Draper has become the third youngest British man in the Open era to reach a grand slam Quarter-final after Tim Henman and Andy Murray. He is also the first to progress to this stage since Murray in 2016, all while still not having dropped a single set! The 25th seed in this year’s tournament won 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 in the fourth round vs Tomas Machac and now faces a tough opponent in Aussie de Minaur.

Alex de Minaur

In a fourth-round clash against fellow Aussie Jordan Thompson, de Minaur came out on top after four sets, beating his compatriot 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to book his place in the quarter-final against Brit Jack Draper. Playing his first tournament since withdrawing from Wimbledon earlier this year with a hip injury, the 25-year-old came into the tournament unsure of his fitness and form with low expectations. However, he has now become the first Australian in 20 years to reach three consecutive grand slam quarter-finals.
