Jack Draper is amazed by what Serena Williams is doing at this year's US Open as the legendary player is in round three with a fairly decent draw.
Many expected Williams to lose in round two to Danka Kovinic but it didn't happen. Many were sure it would happen against Kontaveit but once again it didn't. To young Brit, Jack Draper, it seems like everybody just wants to be there to see her in her final match but she's refusing to make it happen. At least for now:
"Yeah, [I could hear] a little bit. I think they showed it on the TV when she won. There was a big round of applause. I think she beat the 2 seed, right? That's obviously an amazing achievement.
He added:
"I think it was weird, it seemed like yesterday everyone came to do this leaving party almost, and she's gone on and won two matches. I think it must be incredibly difficult for her, playing her with the sort of support she is getting in New York.
He remembered the situation from yesterday when he could her the sounds coming from Ashe:
"I was on one of the outside courts yesterday, it's almost tough playing because the noise was so loud. You felt like everything was vibrating. What an incredible athlete, what an amazing career. Yeah, must be pretty exciting to come here and watch her"
