Jack’s not the lad for US mixed glory
Paisley Daily Express
|August 22, 2025
Jack Draper narrowly missed out on an appearance in the new-look US Open mixed doubles final.
-
Draper and American Jessica Pegula went into the event, played for the first time in the week before the main tournament, as the top seeds and eased to the last four on Tuesday, including beating Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz in the first round.
In front of another packed crowd on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday, this time under the roof on a soggy New York evening, Draper and Pegula looked poised for victory when they led 8-4 in a deciding tiebreak against Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud, only to lose out 3-5 5-3 (10/8).
