Draper 5-2 De Minaur*
Alex de Minaur looks to have tightened up those wayward forehands. It means there are fewer cheap points on offer but Jack Draper's serve does the damage here. It's so hard to get back when he swings it out wide.

*Draper 4-2 De Minaur
I mention the crowd and it feels like they're struggling to get into this with the errors coming.
Alex de Minaur barks in celebration after holding serve under pressure. Draper gave him a helping hand there.
The Briton still has the advantage.

Draper 4-1 De Minaur*
It's the Australian's forehand rather than his movement that is causing most of his problems.
Here's another chance for Draper at 0-30. The crowd is quiet.

Draper 4-1 De Minaur*
Annabel Croft
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsThere's a look about Alex de Minaur who seems forlorn at the moment.
He's certainly not looking a figure of energy.
Jack Draper is just going about his business in the right way, head down, he's got to ignore what is going on.
A very weird start to this match, a bit clunky.

Draper 4-1 De Minaur*
While I attempt to work out what I'm watching, Jack Draper races through a far more comfortable service game than the last. The serve found the mark and he ended with a whipped forehand cross-court.
He heads to the chair by far the happier.

Scattergun is the way I'd describe this from Alex de Minaur. Some of it is good. A lot is rubbish.

Sloppy. Two double faults and now an unforced error off the racquet of Jack Draper.
For only the second time in the tournament he is broken, wiping out that early advantage.

*Draper 2-0 De Minaur
Annabel Croft
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC SoundsAlex de Minaur has been very tentative in the early exchanges between the two of them. I don't think he looks in great shape.
Jack Draper is bringing intensity, striking into the corners and powering those forehands.
I just think that de Minaur is a little off.
