- Draper returns from injury to beat Hubert Hurkacz 6-2, 6-4, 7-5
- Boulter could reach career-high top 50 in WTA rankings
So far in Jack Draper’s young career, since his very first ATP appearance, much of his progress has been dictated by his injuries. Whenever he has had the opportunity to step up with a clean bill of health, though, he has performed.
He did so again on Thursday afternoon as, soon into his return to competition after a shoulder injury derailed his summer, Draper pulled off a big win by dismantling Hubert Hurkacz, the 17th seed, 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 to return to the third round of the US Open.
