Dan Evans is up next on Andy Murray Arena.

He takes on American Brandon Nakashima for the chance to play Draper in the quarter-finals.

Evans beat seventh seed Frances Tiafoe 7-5 6-2 on Monday for his first win against a top-20 player since he defeated world number 12 Alex de Minaur at the 2023 Davis Cup.

And it was only a second career win over a top-20 opponent on grass for the 35-year-old.

Nakashima is ranked 32 in the world but with a lot less experience than the Briton at just 23-years-old.

British number one Jack Draper speaking on court:

"There's days where I need that extra support, today was one of them. Tough match and credit to Alexei [Popyrin] it was a bit up and down but you guys helped me through that so thank you.

"I think he's gone to the beer tent but my grandad is here! My family and friends are here and I love being at home and playing in front of them so it's an emotional moment for me honestly."

Feeling more comfortable on grass? "A little bit, not exactly in the first couple of sets it wasn't pretty at all. I still need some time to adjust to grass but I'm feeling better every time I get through these matches. One more under the belt and I'll be back on Friday."

A puff of the cheeks from Draper as Popyrin leaves the court to a warm ovation.

The British number one will face the winner of the next match - Dan Evans or Brandon Nakashima.

A good serve from Popyrin puts him back on level terms but a ripping backhand from Draper prompts a roar from the crowd and a huge fist pump.

That is what the crowd want to see from the Briton.

Match point.

That's a very timely ace from Draper to win three points in a row and take the lead in the tie-break.

Draper levels up with an overhead smash and the crowd are fully behind him now!

Popyrin's forehand is a little wild and it drops long, Draper breaks back to put us back on serve in the tie-break.

Oh no!

Draper has the court at his mercy as he races into the net and only has to flick down the line but he dumps into the net.

Popyrin secures the first mini-break of the tie-break then a pinpoint forehand to the corner from Draper ensures it's just the one he's got to overturn.

A brilliant powerful forehand from Popyrin moves him ahead to 2-1.

Draper wins the first point behind his own serve before Popyrin's clever net play draws him level at 1-1 in the tie-break.

Draper fires wide on his return and Popyrin forces the tie-break.

We're going the distance.

Oh no. Draper just gets a bit too overexcited and overcooks his forehand.

That allows Popyrin to motor on to game point and it looks like we'll be heading for a tie-break.

Draper produces a 12th ace of the match and, along with some more confident serving that Popyrin can't do anything meaningful with, sees off a no-nonsense hold.

Popyrin will once again serve to stay in the match.

Popyrin sends Draper to one corner of the court then hits into the open space to bring up game point.

He then slams down an ace to secure the hold having saved two match points.

That's a good second serve and good return from Popyrin and the Australian wipes out the two match points.

Deuce.

Draper misses his first match point as he skews one way long.

What can he do with the second?

That's a great return down the line from Draper to bring up two match points.

An aggressive style from Draper is paying off and Popyrin looks nervous.

Popyrin shakes his head as he miscues his shot. He then fires into the net for 15-30.

The crowd can sense something.
