Jack Draper has made it clear that Jessica Pegula, a former world No. 1 in doubles, didn’t “let down” the team at the US Open on Wednesday night. The British-American duo paired up for the revamped mixed doubles tournament and reached the semi-finals before losing a tight match to Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud.

The main draw for the US Open takes place today with defending champions Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka among the big names to discover who their first round opponents will be. Both players sit top of their respective world rankings and will be keen to defend their titles in New York over the next couple of weeks.

Andrew Castle believes Jack Draper could struggle at the US Open and has fired a sack warning to Emma Raducanu ’s new coach Francis Roig. Draper and Raducanu, the British No.1s in men’s singles and women’s singles respectively, are hoping to enjoy deep runs at Flushing Meadows.

Colin Fleming: Draper ... for Jack, but I think he can bounce back at the Open. Martina Navratilova: Lois Boisson played great tennis on the clay at the French Open. She was an eye-opening experience and I think she can do some damage at the US Open.
