Jack Draper and Alex de Minaur are set to face off in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2024 on Wednesday, September 4th. Here’s the prediction and betting analysis for this match, prepared by the Dailysports team of analysts.
Jack Draper
Draper is the brightest young hope in British tennis. The 22-year-old is having a strong season, and the US Open 2024 is currently the best tournament of his career. Draper is ranked 25th in the world, and his progression to the quarterfinals is a significant surprise. He also claimed victory at the prestigious Stuttgart tournament earlier in 2024.
However, it’s worth noting that Draper has had some luck with his draw at the US Open 2024. In the first round, he defeated China’s Zhizhen Zhang, followed by wins over Facundo Diaz Acosta, Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp, and Czech player Tomas Machac. Notably, Carlos Alcaraz, who was in Draper’s section of the draw, was unexpectedly eliminated by van de Zandschulp in the second round.
Alex de Minaur
De Minaur, currently ranked 10th in the world, has made his way to the quarterfinals without raising many eyebrows. The 25-year-old Australian has been playing excellent tennis recently, and he also reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, although an injury prevented him from taking the court against Novak Djokovic. De Minaur has won two titles in 2024.
At the US Open 2024, de Minaur has already defeated Marcos Giron, Otto Virtanen, Daniel Evans, and fellow Australian Jordan Thompson.

Jack Draper vs Alex de Minaur prediction
While Draper is in excellent form, de Minaur’s experience in high-stakes matches should give him the edge. I predict a victory for the Australian.
