YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 3, ARMENPRESS. Jack Draper is out of the US Open after retiring at 3-6 6-4 5-6 against Karen Khachanov, Eurosport reports.

The in-form 20-year-old Brit was having a fine run having knocked out Emil Ruusuvuori and No. 6 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the opening two rounds.

However, despite taking the second set and going 4-2 up in the third set, a hamstring injury affected him badly. At 6-5 down, Draper decided to retire from the match.

Russian Karen Khachanov will play Pablo Carreno Busta in the fourth round.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
