"It's a big step forward! We played a lot of sets in the first few rounds, so I knew there were going to be tough matches. After 3 hours and 58 minutes of fierce battle, Draper finally defeated local player Vukic 6:4, 2:6, 5:7, 7:6 (7:5), 7:6 (10:8). The 23-year-old left-handed player reached the last 16 of the Australian Open for the first time and will face Spain's third seed Alcaraz in the next round.
Draper has 5 wins and 1 loss in 5 sets in his career, including vomiting in the first round of the Australian Open last year, and this year's stunning win at Melbourne Park in the first 3 rounds, and he is also the seventh man in tournament history. It's just that he fell into a hard battle in the third set of this game, and once lost control of his emotions and broke his racket, causing fans to boo. Coincidentally, the opponent Vukic also played 5 sets in the first 3 rounds, but he lost in the end.
