Jack Draper is piling up several five-set matches after his latest at the Australian Open. He will have to ensure the endgame comes quicker in the first week of Slams.

Britain's Jack Draper is through to the last 16 of the Australian Open for the first time in his career after fighting back to beat Aleksandar Vukic.

After three consecutive five-set matches — including wins over Australians Thanasi Kokkinakis and Aleksandar Vukic — Great Britain's Jack Draper is earning a reputation for physical and mental toughness.

After losing the opening set to Felix Auger-Aliassime during Great Britain’s clash with Canada, Draper smashed his frame on the floor – and then did so again a few months later during defeat to another Australian, Alex de Minaur, at the Paris Masters.

As well as disrupting his off-season, Draper's hip injury meant he was unable to play a warm-up event before the first Grand Slam of the year. In a bid to regain sharpness, he played practice sets against 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic and world number one Jannik Sinner last week on Rod Laver Arena.

British number one Jack Draper says he is better prepared to face the heat and overcome concerns about his fitness at this year's Australian Open.

British number one Jack Draper, up against Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis on John Cain Arena, and Jodie Burrage, who will face American third seed Coco Gauff on Rod Laver Arena, both have the security of playing in the night session on their respective show courts. They are scheduled to play from 8am.

Jack Draper conjured the spirit of Andy Murray to claw his way back from the brink of defeat against home favourite Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Australian Open.
