Draper 6-4 2-6 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (10-8) Vukic
Jack Draper speaking on court following his five-set third round win: “Firstly, Alex played incredible. It was an unbelievably tough match. Both of us have played a lot of sets in our first couple of rounds so I knew it was going to be a really tough match. There were so many ebbs and flows. It was just great tennis. I always appreciate you guys staying out so late for us, it was a great match”
On leading 3-1 in the fifth set and being unable to capitalise on that: “I thought it was done and he just came back from the dead. He was playing incredibly. I think we are suffering a lot in the five sets and sometimes you get a little energy boost. It was just a great battle with two competitors going at it. That’s what sport is all about so it was good.”
On playing out three consecutive five setters after recovering from a hip injury: “My body doesn’t feel too great, luckily I have a good physio! I think mentally I have really competed hard. I have loved the atmosphere and playing in front of loads of people. It’s given me a lot of energy to keep pushing, so I’m surprising myself.”
On facing Carlos Alcaraz next: “I’m just thinking about my recovery and getting off the court to be honest. I don’t want to think about him yet. Carlos is a special talent, an unbelievable player and someone I have a good relationship with. I think it’s going to be an incredible match and hopefully my body pulls up and I can give it my all. It will be a great contest.”
