Ambition, that would be one of the words that cannot be missing to define the path of Jack Draper in this US Open 2024. After a few seasons praising the left-hander's talent, the day has finally come where we see him in the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament, and he will do so without having lost a single set along the way. The Brit is on the rise and, before facing Thompson or De Miñaur in a couple of days, these were his summary words.

“This is an incredible moment for me, I am very proud of this achievement in one of the world's most important tournaments. Following Andy’s (Murray) steps to reach the quarterfinals is impressive, but I have to keep going because I know I still have room to improve, I still have margin to go further in this tournament. As the challenges become greater and I face opponents of higher level, I hope my level will also rise with that,” confessed the current world No. 25.
