US Open: Draper through to Slam fourth round for first time

Jack Draper beat American wildcard Michael Mmoh 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to move into the last 16 of the US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York on Saturday evening.

Draper, ranked No 123, will play Russian Andrey Rublev, the No 8 seed, next.

It will be his first ever fourth-round match at a Grand Slam. Draper made it to the third round in New York last year before having to retire from his match against Karen Khachanov due to injury.

Jack Draper won against Radu Albot (6-1, 6-4, 6-3) and Pole Hubert Hurkacz, the No 17 seed (6-2, 6-4, 7-5) in the previous rounds of the Flushing Meadows tournament.

Earlier in the tournament, Mmoh, ranked No 89, won against Russian Karen Khachanov, the No 11 seed (6-2, 6-4, 6-2) and produced a stunning comeback to beat wildcard John Isner (3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (7)).
