🌟 Jack Draper just leveled up his tennis game BIG TIME! The 22-year-old Brit blazed into his first Grand Slam semifinal at the U.S. Open with a *flawless* straight-sets victory over Alex de Minaur. Scoreboard? 6-3, 7-5, 6-2. Talk about a glow-up! 🚀
Draper’s now the first player in *four years* to reach the Flushing Meadows semis without dropping a single set. Move over, Avengers – this is the ultimate power move. 💥 His rocket serves and clutch forehands left de Minaur scrambling like a TikTok dance challenge gone wrong. 🕺
Post-match, Draper kept it real: “Solid match… Proud of my performance.” Understatement of the year? Maybe. But hey, when you’re the first British man in the semis since Andy Murray’s 2012 win, you’ve earned those chill vibes. 🇬🇧
Meanwhile, rising star Pegular (we see you! 👀) also smashed into the semifinals, though deets on his match are still MIA. Both players now face top seeds – Draper vs. Sinner/Medvedev – in what’s shaping up to be the most lit Friday night since Beyoncé dropped Renaissance. 🎶
