US Open: Jack Draper storms into third round at Flushing Meadows with Hubert Hurkacz win


British star Jack Draper made the third round at the US Open for the second consecutive year after a superb victory over former top-10 player Hubert Hurkacz.

The 21-year-old is the first of the six-strong British contingent playing on day four to get through after an impressive 6-2 6-4 7-5 win over Hurkacz, the 17th seed from Poland.

It was the fifth best win of the youngster’s career by ranking as Hurkacz struggled throughout and called for a doctor in the final set before falling to defeat.
