There have been claims that Sinner received preferential treatment, with fellow player Denis Shapovalov writing on social media that there are “different rules for different players.” Recently, Sinner admitted he received a frosty welcome in the locker room at the US Open.

The current British number one beat Czech Tomas Machac 6-3, 6-1 and 6-2 in the round of 16 to secure his place in the last eight. On September 4, he will face the 10th seeded Australian, who beat fellow countryman Jordan Thompson to advance to this round.

Draper will feel he can advance to the later rounds, but exactly what rank does he have compared to the remaining players?

In a duel of New York-born baseliners, Navarro, who defeated defending champion Coco Gauff in the previous round, surprised Badosa by winning the last six games of the second set to secure victory in 72 minutes.

Navarro scored an early break to make it 3-0 and relied on her remarkable forehand to fend off the two break points she faced to win the first set in convincing fashion.

Good day and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of the US Open quarter-finals.
