No, look, I’m extremely stoked to get this win because it was a hell of a battle out there. Jack’s a hell of a competitor, a hell of a talent and he’s got a very bright future ahead of him.
“It didn’t look too good out there for me at times but I stayed tough, I stayed positive ... I kept it together. I managed to play some great tennis throughoiut the three hours.”
De Minaur will face another Brit in the third round in Liam Broady.
Game, set and match De Minaur
Men’s singles: De Minaur gets a match point after Draper shanks a forehand well wide. Draper sends his first serve wide but gets his second one in and another marathon rally ends with him pulling a forehand from the baseline well wide. De Minaur wins 5-7, 7-6, 6-2, 6-3. It was a good performance from the 20-year=old Draper but De Minaur was just too good for him.
