Jannik Sinner fights for the dream of the US Open title in the semifinals

The tennis court in New York offered a dramatic semi -finals of the US Open at the weekend, which will go into the history of the tournament. Jannik Sinner, the Italian favorite and current world rankings, survived an exciting match against the British Jack Draper, which was characterized by several unexpected twists

in a game that ended with a final score of 7: 5, 7: 6 (7: 3), 6: 2, Sinner not only showed remarkable sporting skills, but also great mental strength. He injured himself during the second set when he fell unhappily on his left wrist. Despite the pain, he found back into the game and was able to prevail in the end.

Draper's health challenges

On the other side of the network, Jack Draper also fought with health problems. In the middle of the game, the 22-year-old handed over several times, which made his nervousness and pressure clear on him. After the match, Draper explained: "I was a little nervous today. I am an anxious person. When everything comes together, I feel some nausea on the pitch." These words underline the immense weight that such significant games can have for the players.

Although he had not lost sentences in this tournament before, Draper was unable to call up his performance in this semi -finals. In total, he made ten double errors during the game, which illustrates his pressure and the increasing difficulties. The conditions were particularly challenging, and Draper tried to cool off with ice towels and cold air to stabilize its performance.

Despite these difficulties, Sinner expressed his sympathy for his friend and opponent. "Jack and I know each other very well, we are good friends," said Sinner. He added: "It was a very physical match. Half -finals at a Grand Slam are different. You feel a lot of tension." These words not only show the competitive spirit of the players, but also the interpersonal connection, which often exists in tennis.

A look at the final

With this victory, Jannik Sinner has opened the door to his second Grand Slam title. After his triumph at the Australian Open in January, he now hopes to win the US Open. In the final he will either meet Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe, who duel in another semi -finals. Sinner is not only in the spotlight in terms of sport-after two positive doping tests in spring and his subsequent acquittal, he is under special observation.

Overall, the game reflects the tensions, challenges and the very human pages of tennis. From injuries to health crises - players not only have to fight against their opponents, but also against themselves. The coming days will show whether Sinner is able to realize his dream of another title.
