Jack Draper is excited by the challenge of facing "special talent" Carlos Alcaraz in the fourth round of the Australian Open, predicting a "great contest".

After splitting sets with Aleksandar Vukic, the 15th seed found himself facing a set point in the third and obliterated his racket in frustration.

Marathon man Jack Draper survived a third consecutive five-set match to set up a fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz at the Australian Open.

And Jack Draper is well and truly on his way to following in his fellow Briton's footsteps after he won a thriller against Alexandar Vukic on Friday.
