Drake places huge bet on Taylor Fritz to upset Jannik Sinner in US

Drake has added tennis to the list of sports he has bet on as the Canadian rapper dropped $210k on Taylor Fritz to upset Jannik Sinner in the US Open final.

“It still hasn’t fully sunk in, I feel like it. When the crowd cheered me and I was introduced as the finalist of the tournament, I felt incredibly emotional because this is the fulfillment of a dream. I’ve been working hard for so long to achieve something like this…” Fritz said after booking a final ticket. 

After making it clear how much it meant to him to be a Major finalist, the American tennis player made a pretty confident statement by claiming that he had a good feeling that he would “come out and win.”

“I’ve always enjoyed playing him. To be honest, I don’t think that I’m going to be put in a more stressful situation than I was today than playing in a final. I think…
