Jack Draper vs Aleksandar Vukic Prediction
Jack Draper has been far from his best so far in Melbourne but the 23-year-old Brit will be hoping that his two five-set matches will have enabled him to tune up for his third-round match against Aleksandar Vukic here.
After edging our Mariano Navone in the first round, he fought back 10- and 1-2 down to Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis to progress and now he faces Vukic in the Margaret Court Arena.
Vukic has had two five-set battles of his own against Damir Dzumhur and then 21st-seed Sebastian Korda last time out. The win over Korda was impressive given the fact his opponent generated 14 break points against him but they only converted four each. Vukic was the more efficient in the key moments.
That will not get him through this match however. Draper has had his warnings and he has had enough time on court to tune up. We expect him to be more ruthless here and expect the Brit to win in three or maybe four sets.
Jack Draper vs Aleksandar Vukic Tip: Jack Draper to win 3-0 or 3-1
