Jack Draper threw up on the court in the middle of his semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner at the US Open.
The British No. 1 was visibly struggling throughout the second set and called for the doctor before spraying vomit on the court and cleaning it up himself.
The umpire seemed happy to allow the doctor to come on early but Draper said he would wait for the next changeover.
After losing the first set, Draper found himself embroiled in a marathon second. It took 28 minutes for the players to complete the first three games and get to a changeover. And the Brit was under constant pressure on his serve.
Draper has often struggled in hot or humid conditions and it was no different in Friday’s semi-final. With Sinner serving at 3-4, the 22-year-old appeared to throw up after the first point. And things quickly went downhill from there.
At deuce, he couldn’t control the vomit and was sick on the baseline while waiting to return.
