Wow draper now 3-1 up

Jaffa · Challenger level

He won 6-3 after a very nervy last game. What a win!

Priesty · Challenger level

Fantastic! Just woke up and checked, never expected that, thought Jack Sr would have far too much nous for him.

Nix · Futures qualifying

Wow amazing from Jack. Pleasantly surprised but not shocked, he's a real talent and gutsy.

Fantastic result. Donald Young up next. I notice there are 3 kings in the last 16, must be a pun there somewhere.

Highlights of the match.

Some impressive stats too. 14 aces from Jack, 80% first serve % and 60% second serve %.

From the highlights he barely gave Sock a free point.

Really enjoying the little I'm able to watch of this match. Draper played the least one kinda Sloppy serve game first set it seems but has really hit a high level since and was dominant on serve and has just not managed to take any of the multiple chances to break he's made. He took the breaker tho. There was a short medical time out in the tiebreaker which I missed ...I think maybe a blister. Stats wise Jacks numbers really improved that set whilst socks got worse

Not, a blister. (8.10 on the highlight reel) In trying to run everything down he took a hard fall at the back of the court, near to the plant pots and car. Took some time to get up. In fact Sock helped him up His left wrist was clearly hurting him and a bump to the knee was bleeding, and had to be cleaned up. It was very concerning for a while.

Wow. That's is a fantastic win. I know "the other Jack" has had all sorts of injury problems, but he is still a former Top 10 player. Just a shame that the points won for that is equivalent to reaching a QF in a 25k.
