Dramatic scenes as Jack Draper throws up twice on court and Jannik Sinner lands badly on his wrist during thrilling US Open semi-final

Jannik Sinner facing off against Jack Draper has delivered thus far on drama stakes both in the tennis department and also the battle of the afflicted with both in serious strife at the US Open.

Only two sets into their clash which could go best of five, Draper has done what can be phrased as the Sinner. He threw up twice on the court and then cleaned it up with his towel before throwing it back in the box.

Seemingly feeling the heat and the conditions after Sinner looked to be struggling early on. The Italian famously threw up on the court during similarly sweltering conditions in Beijing last year.

But this began what has been termed as post puke Sinner. He ended up going on. a tear after that moment becoming the all conquering World No.1. But can this be the catalyst for Draper?

Albeit the cameras at the same time panned from one bench to the other as Sinner landed awkwardly on his wrist. Playing an incredible point and winning it at 4-4, he gave it all he had but could affect him long time.

He had to call for the physio and had a medical timeout like Draper in the changeover as both seemingly will battle to the finish with ailments. Something that will make the winner of Fritz and Tiafoe lick their lips no doubt.
