British number one Jack Draper has set up a likely third-round encounter with the formidable Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open, following an impressive performance against Argentina’s Facundo Diaz Acosta. Draper, who has shown a preference for the American hard courts with a strong showing in New York last year, displayed his prowess in a convincing 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory.
From the outset, Draper demonstrated his dominance on the court. He secured a crucial break in the third game of the match, establishing early control and setting the tone for the rest of the encounter. His aggressive play was marked by 29 winners and he capitalized on 20 errors from Diaz Acosta, showcasing his ability to both execute powerful shots and exploit his opponent’s mistakes.
Draper’s performance highlights his readiness to tackle the challenges ahead, particularly as he prepares for a potential clash with Alcaraz. The Spanish star, who has claimed the title at the last two Grand Slam tournaments, will face Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp in his next match. Should the draw proceed as anticipated, Draper will need to elevate his game to match or surpass his impressive run from last year.
With the stakes high, Draper’s focus and skill will be crucial as he navigates the demanding competition at Flushing Meadows. The upcoming match against Alcaraz promises to be a thrilling test of Draper’s abilities and determination on one of the sport’s biggest stages.
