Draper says Alcaraz will have a battle on his hands when they meet in the Australian Open last 16.
MELBOURNE – Marathon man Jack Draper says Carlos Alcaraz will have a battle on his hands when they meet in the Australian Open last 16, with the Briton showing remarkable staying power to set up the clash.
His 3hr 58min slog to beat Aleksandar Vukic in a match that ended early Saturday morning came on the back of beating Mariano Navone and Thanasi Kokkinakis in similarly tough encounters. Draper beat Alcaraz the last time they played, on grass at the Queens Club in London last year. The Spaniard won the two meetings before that."Against the top players you get less and less chances to win games and sets."But I'm expecting him to come out and know that I've played three five-setters and know that he's got a battle on his hands, and he's going to have to play good.
"I'm done after two sets most of the time," admitted the Briton, who won his maiden ATP Tour title in Stuttgart last year.
