  Alex de Minaur’s classy response to defeat

  It’s a sad end for Alex de Minaur at the US Open after the Aussie no.1 went out in straight sets to Britain’s Jack Draper.

  De Minaur admitted after the match he wasn’t at full fitness after recently recovering from a hip injury that forced him to pull out of Wimbledon. But de Minaur wouldn’t let his fitness take anything away from his opponent with a classy response after the match.

  “Jack is never easy to play in the best of times, and the way he can spread the court, being a lefty and really move you around the court, it takes a toll on the body,” he said.

  “Accumulation of matches takes a toll as well. But he played well. He deserves the win. He moved me around the court, and served great. In the few chances that I had, I wasn’t able to execute.”
