Jack Draper has opened up on suffering anxiety after he vomited on the US Open court during Friday's (6 September) semi-final.

The British number one had hopes of emulating Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu by winning the title in New York but was sick four times and fell short in a 7-5 7-6 (3) 6-2 loss to world number one Jannik Sinner.

Speaking afterwards, Draper described himself as "quite an anxious human being."

"I do feel a little bit sick when it gets tough. I didn’t have any problems before the match, but it obviously just built up," he added.
