No. 1 Jannik Sinner overcame a wrist injury and drama-filled semifinal match against Britain's Jack Draper on Friday to reach his first US Open final.
Sinner was treated by a trainer in the second set following a wild point at 4-all that saw him fall to the court and attempt to break his fall with his left hand.
He recovered enough to win the set in a tiebreak and finish off the match in straight sets, 7-5, 7-6 (3), 6-2. The second set alone clocked in at 89 minutes, the second longest on the US Open men's side this year (the Zizou Bergs-Pavel Kotov opening-round fifth set went 96 minutes).
Sinner's opponent had his own struggles. The No. 25-seeded Draper vomited multiple times on the court and had to change both his shirt and shoes, which were soaked through with sweat.
