Jack Draper will bid to continue his run at the US Open as he eyes a first grand slam quarter-final appearance at Flushing Meadows.

The British No1 takes on Tomas Machac for a spot in the last eight with the draw opening up nicely for the 22-year-old.

Draper beat Botic van de Zandschulp, conqueror of Carlos Alcaraz, in the third round, while high seeds Novak Djokovic, Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz and Casper Ruud have all made early exits.

But the British player will be wary of the talented Machac, who won the only previous meeting between the pair at ATP Tour level in Geneva earlier this year.
