Jack Draper topples Félix Auger-Aliassime to crash US Open third ... (The Guardian)

Fast-rising Briton scores upset of No 6 seed Auger-Aliassime · Draper, 20, faces 27th seed Karen Khachanov in third round.

On the whole, Draper’s big serve was keeping him at arm’s length, though, and that was the only game in the match in which he faced break points. He had chances to move further ahead but then showed a cool head and some outstanding powers of defence to clinch the set after coming under pressure for the first time. He backed that up spectacularly, taking control of the contest from the first game and never letting up in a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 success that will see him break into the top 50 for the first time.
