    "I back your ball-striking," says Draper's coach James Trotman now. He's playing his part well.

    Jack Draper has to be a little bit worried now.

    If he loses this set, not only is it even but Alex de Minaur has a lot more experience in these sorts of matches.

    "Come on, Jack!" is the shout from the stands.

    The Briton looks like he needs a jolt of energy from somewhere because it's all going the way of the Australian right now.

    The skipping, bopping De Minaur wraps up a third game in a row.

    All of a sudden, De Minaur's level is rising by the second.

    A big surprise, but De Minaur has such fighting qualities.

    Despite being clearly hampered today, he is going to give it his best shot and see what he can carve out. Doing a good job of it so far.

    I'm a little worried about Jack Draper here. He's playing that drop shot far too often.

    0-30 on the Briton's serve. Pressure...

    Alex de Minaur's level is fluctuating, he is having these staccatos glimpses of what he is capable of.

    After the disappointment of not being able to get the break back he's dropped again in level which of course hands over the initiative to Jack Draper once again.

    What a time to relocate his closest friend...

    Two big serves help Britain's Jack Draper wriggle free of the pressure.

    That feels like a big moment. All of that Aussie effort was for nothing.

    The point of the match? Maybe.

    Alex de Minaur looks to have it but as Jack Draper winds up on a forehand the point is his.

    The British 22-year-old, dressed in his backwards cap and baggy shirt, goes to that drop shot twice more.

    The first works but the second came with a big sign, 'drop shot coming now', and De Minaur was there in a flash.

    Break point...
