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

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.

The British No 1 is through to the Australian Open fourth round for the first time and will play Alcaraz for the fourth time

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.

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".

After splitting sets with Aleksandar Vukic, the 15th seed found himself facing a set point in the third and obliterated his racket in frustration. It delayed the next point as Draper went to dig out a new racket and dampener while the crowd booed. But he was happy to give it back, jeering the fans on as commentators claimed he "lost the plot".
