During his time at Flushing Meadows, Draper met with 7-time Grand Slam champion John McEnroe and former British No. 1 Tim Henman. Draper shared the photos he took with both former players on social media: "Had to post a couple more legends of the game.."

Pegula reflects on US Open final loss

Jessica Pegula shared a heartfelt reflection after losing the US Open final. On Saturday, September 7, Aryna Sabalenka won the women’s final with a 7-5, 7-5 victory, securing her third Grand Slam title. The American fought hard but couldn't match the flawless performance of the Belarusian.
