Jack Draper silenced the Aussie fans for the second straight match, as he delivered the latest in a heroic series of performances in Melbourne.

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.

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.

Jack Draper is excited by the challenge of facing "special talent" Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth round of the Australian Open, predicting a "great contest".

It is quite the turnaround for a man whose fitness, by his own admission, could not be relied upon in the early years of his career.

Jack Draper credited a change in his breathing technique for the improved physical endurance that has carried him to a fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open. The British number one has come through three five-set matches at Melbourne Park to reach the last 16, battling back from two sets to one down each time.
