World No.10 Alex de Minaur will take on World No. 25 Jack Draper in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2024 on the 4th of September. De Minaur is stepping into this fixture after defeating fellow Australian Jordan Thompson in the Round of 16 at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in four sets 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Meanwhile, Draper is stepping into this match in excellent form, having not dropped even a single set in his campaign at Flushing Meadows so far. The Briton defeated Czechia's Tomas Machac at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in straight sets 6-3, 6-1, 6-2.
Both players have performed well this year, with De Minaur winning 67% of his matches compared to Draper's 71%. They have both competed on the Main Tour. However, the average ranking of the players they have faced differs in quality. Where Draper has been facing players ranked around 88, de Minaur has come up against opposition ranked higher, around 66, which can be an advantage for the Australian.
He also enjoys a head-to-head advantage over Draper, the two having met on three previous occasions, with de Minaur victorious in all three. Their most recent encounter came earlier this year at the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco, where Draper retired from the match while down in the last set 6-3, 2-6, 4-0. The British player has worked on his fitness since this retirement and has been turning heads with his performances in New York.
Here are the main details regarding their much-awaited showdown:
