We're heading towards the business end of the Australian Open and everyone wants a place in that second week.

More big names are in action on Saturday.

The last British woman standing Emma Raducanu is up first on Rod Laver as she takes on Polish second seed Iga Swiatek in what should be a brilliant match.

You'll be able to listen to that from 00:30 GMT tonight on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.

Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina are also in action Ukrainian 28th seed Elina Svitolina taking on Italian fourth seed Jasmine Paolini.

Defending champion Jannik Sinner gets the evening session under way against American Marcus Giron while 13th seed Holger Rune takes on Miomir Kecmanovic on Margaret Court Arena.

Home favourite Alex de Minaur takes on 31st seed Francisco Cerundolo with American Ben Shelton also in action.

Let's recap some of the best action from day six at the Australian Open.

There have been wins for top-10 players Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff but Naomi Osaka was forced to retire with injury in her match against Belinda Bencic.

In the men's draw, third seed Carlos Alcaraz dropped his first set of the tournament but progressed to the fourth round where he will meet Jack Draper.

Novak Djokovic beat Tomas Machac in straight sets to reach round four while Britain's Jacob Fearnley fell short against second seed Alexander Zverev.

Jack Draper speaking on court following his five-set third round win: "Firstly, Alex played incredible. It was an unbelievably tough match. Both of us have played a lot of sets in our first couple of rounds so I knew it was going to be a really tough match. There were so many ebbs and flows. It was just great tennis. I always appreciate you guys staying out so late for us, it was a great match"

On leading 3-1 in the fifth set and being unable to capitalise on that: "I thought it was done and he just came back from the dead. He was playing incredibly. I think we are suffering a lot in the five sets and sometimes you get a little energy boost. It was just a great battle with two competitors going at it. That's what sport is all about so it was good."

On playing out three consecutive five setters after recovering from a hip injury: "My body doesn't feel too great, luckily I have a good physio! I think mentally I have really competed hard. I have loved the atmosphere and playing in front of loads of people. It's given me a lot of energy to keep pushing, so I'm surprising myself."

On facing Carlos Alcaraz next: "I'm just thinking about my recovery and getting off the court to be honest. I don't want to think about him yet. Carlos is a special talent, an unbelieve player and someone I have a good relationship with. I think it's going to be an incredible match and hopefully my body pulls up and I can give it my all. It will be a great contest."

Jack Draper has spent a whopping 12 hours and 34 minutes on court in Melbourne so far this week.

Carlos Alcaraz, who he faces next, has only notched up five-and-a-half hours.

Draper's physio is going to have their work cut out for them.

Jack Draper's Australian Open campaign has been tricky enough so far, but it's going to get even harder now.

This man awaits him in the fourth round...

As it turns out, he didn't need any warm-up matches or any lead-up tournaments.

He has had plenty of on-court time now!

There is real appreciation for Aleksandar Vukic and the effort he put out as he leaves court. He has so much to be proud of. If he can continue that level, he is going to be moving back up the ranks pretty rapidly.

But what a night for Jack Draper! He absolutely crushed this match.

Not just yet! Jack Draper goes long.

Here we go! Jack Draper brings up the first match points.

Can he get the job done?

We're getting closer and closer to finding out our winner. Jack Draper is two points away.

Jack Draper got a little bit fortunate!

It was the net cord that Aleksandar Vukic had to adjust to.

My goodness - what is going to happen next!

Jack Draper tries to catch his opponent off guard with a cross-court slice, but Aleksandar Vukic gets there and dinks over a drop shot that Draper has no chance with.

The net cord comes to Draper's rescue, bouncing up nicely for the British number one to fizz a pass cross-court. 6-6.

Aleksandar Vukic takes the lead for the first time in the match tie-break as Jack Draper misses, but the Australian can't reply to that huge first serve. 5-5.

On a 10-point tie-break, there is a lot more space to work with. Early leads aren't as detrimental to the player who is in the negative.

But it becomes equally important for the player in the lead, Jack Draper in this case, to maintain his focus. It is easy to have a slight let-down and then have a completely shift in momentum.

Ooofft. Jack Draper looks like he's overhit the forehand big time, but it drops just in time to kiss the baseline.

He fires the next point into the net and it stays all square.

Jack Draper misses his first serve and he's forced to engage in a lengthy rally before swerving a forehand wide. We're back level.
