Jack Draper is working on his fitness after picking up a niggle at the U.S. Open and is set to link up with his Davis Cup team mates on Tuesday, a spokesperson for Britain's number one said. The 22-year-old lost 7-5 7-6(3) 6-2 to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows on Friday, with the Briton vomiting three times in the second set as he struggled with New York's heat and humidity.

"Jack and his team are working hard to get fit and Leon (Smith) will take all this into account when he makes his team selection."
