    Jack Draper reaches 30-30 as he pins Mariano Navone back with a powerful groundstroke, but the Argentine is dealing with the big points on his own serve efficiently to edge closer to the opening set.

    We know there is no substitute for match sharpness, but Jack Draper has been doing as much as he can to replicate the intensity he will need today.

    Draper practised against 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic and world number one Jannik Sinner last week on Rod Laver Arena.

    As well as the increase of intensity, it is also a confidence boost for Draper that the very best want to hit with him.

    "When I first came onto the tour, I remember putting my name down in Miami and no-one wanted to hit with me," Draper recalled.

    "That is obviously a bit different now.

    "It's really great to be able to spar with that kind of level of intensity and work ethic."

    Draper 3-4 Navone*

    Plenty of support in the crowd for Jack Draper, who is cheered on as he proceeds to shut down those break points and maintains that momentum to seal a crucial hold of serve.

    That could have been the first set as good as done.

    *Draper 2-4 Navone

    Mariano Navone is making moves. The Argentine makes no mistake as he carefully tracks an overhead and crashes it down for a couple of break points.

    Can Jack Draper hang on in there?

    *Draper 2-4 Navone

    Having been used to the sub-zero temperatures in the UK for the past week or so, the thought of running around in 25C heat sounds hellish.

    Hopefully Jack Draper's heat-specific training in the build-up has done him wonders.

    The British press pack are trying to gauge how Draper is feeling physically.

    We know he has struggled in the heat in the past, although it is not boiling today by Melbourne standards.

    The temperature is about 25C with a cooling breeze.

    Nevertheless, Draper has two ice towels out at the changeover. One around his neck and another across his thighs.

  7. Navone holds serve to lovepublished at 05:12 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    *Draper 2-4 Navone

    An impressive and rather swift hold of serve to love for Mariano Navone, who pops away a forehand from mid-court to restore his two-game cushion.

  8. Draper holds servepublished at 05:10 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    Draper 2-3 Navone*

    An important hold of serve for Jack Draper ensures the 15th seed stays within striking distance in this first set.

    An ace helped steady things when he trailed 15-30 but the Briton navigates the closing points well to reduce the deficit.

  9. Draper 'doing things differently' to cope with heatpublished at 05:08 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    Jack Draper was sick immediately after his first-round victory at Melbourne Park last year, later putting that down to "psychological stress". He also struggled with the same issue in his first major semi-final at the US Open, vomiting three times on court before his defeat by eventual champion Jannik Sinner.

    But the British number one believes he is better prepared to deal with the Melbourne heat at this year's tournament.

    "This year I've really tried to do different things," Draper said. "I'm from a country where we're inside a lot and it's cold. Coming into a tournament like this where it is really hot, we don't get a lot of that exposure.

    "I've got a lot of heat training in and I feel good. I've been working hard on different techniques with my breathing. I'm a young player, I'm still trying to understand how I operate best in all areas."

  10. Navone holds from deucepublished at 05:07 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    *Draper 1-3 Navone

    Mariano Navone gets to safety despite Jack Draper just starting to dial up the pressure there. Much more positive signs from the Briton, though.

    Not been a high-quality opening, it must be said.

    A string of unforced errors have come off the racquets of both men, with Draper’s sluggish start exemplified by the backhand lumped out on break point.

    But the running forehand which he creams down the line for deuce will give him confidence.

    Draper clenched his fist towards a group waving a Union Jack in his direction.

    Draper 1-2 Navone*

    Jack Draper goes in search of an immediate response.

    A terrific, whipped forehand down the line lets Mariano Navone, and the crowd, know he is beginning to settle in here.

    It's a superb winner and gets the reaction it deserves from the crowd. It also brings Draper to deuce.

    Jack Draper has not played competitively since the end of October, having picked up a hip injury during the off-season.

    But the 23-year-old left-hander talked the talk in his pre-tournament news conference on Saturday.

    "I wouldn't be competing if I didn't feel like I can go 100%," said Draper.

    "The prep's not been obviously ideal. I've still got in two-and-a-half weeks of really, really good training. I'll feel ready to go on Monday, for sure."

  14. Draper's disrupted build-uppublished at 05:03 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    Draper 1-2 Navone*

    Jack Draper had a disrupted build-up to the first Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, with a hip problem causing him to miss the United Cup and cancel a training camp with third seed Carlos Alcaraz.

    Since arriving in Australia, the British number one has been practising alongside world number one Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.

  15. Navone breaks Draperpublished at 05:01 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    Draper 1-2 Navone*

    After exchanging early break points, it is Mariano Navone who gets the breakthrough.

    The Argentine benefits from a series of unforced errors off Draper's racquet and, from 30-0 up, the Briton now must play catch-up in the opening set.

  16. GB's Burrage earns emotional winpublished at 04:59 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    Jack Draper is not the first Briton in action on day two.

    Britain's Jodie Burrage cried "happy tears" after securing her first Australian Open main-draw victory - just two months after considering quitting the sport.

    The 25-year-old claimed a a 6-2 6-4 success over French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean in Melbourne.

    Burrage's career has been beset by injuries and, after missing six months last year, she contemplated retirement.

    Burrage did not know "how much fight" she had left but persevered because of her love for the sport and has now delivered one of the finest wins of her career.

    "It was a good decision [not to retire]," said world number 173 Burrage.

    Meanwhile, lucky loser Harriet Dart is in a deciding set against Jana Fett, of Croatia, over on court 12.

    Talk about finding your first serve when you need to.

    Jack Draper found his rhythm at the time to save those early break points and open with a stomach-settling hold.

    Barely an empty seat on court three, which holds about 3,000 fans and is situated in the heart of Melbourne Park.

    Loads of Brits here but also some loud Argentines cheering on their guy.

  18. Navone saves break point to holdpublished at 04:56 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January

    *Draper 1-1 Navone

    Draper sets up a break point opportunity of his own but drifts a backhand long.

    Already some tense moments in the early stages of this one but, like Draper, Navone wriggles free under pressure to hold.

    What a difference a day makes!

    If you're not at the tennis then a boat ride down the Yarra river would be a very pleasant experience.

    After violent thunderstorms caused havoc with yesterday's play, the summer sun has returned to Melbourne today.

    Play began as planned at 11am on a bumper day boosted by the eight matches cancelled on day one.

    No need for umbrellas. Unless you're using one to protect your bounce from the UV.

    Draper 1-0 Navone*

    Great work by Jack Draper to get to deuce on Mariano Navone's opening service game, mixing up his shots and following up a deep cross-court forehand with a delicate drop shot which catches the Argentine out.
