    The competition on a cold Court 14 is very much alive.

    I don't think we touched enough on the fact that Harriet Dart is one set away and has been for a while from equalling her best Grand Slam run, has never been to the third round at the Australian Open, has twice made that round at Wimbledon but has never gone further.

    What a final set this is turning into.

    Donna Vekic goes after an immediate response on Harriet Dart's serve and breaks the Briton to 15 to restore parity in the decider.

    Which way this one is going to go is anyone's guess.

    Gigi Salmon
    BBC Sport tennis commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    Thanasi Kokkinakis doesn't look that happy, he looks slightly surprised, he's going more and more damage to the body but he plays on and he has the lead over the 15th seed.

  10. Game and third set - Kokkinakispublished at 11:00 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 0-0 Kokkinakis

    Take that! Thanasi Kokkinas was on the brink during the middle of that set, but he slams down a huge ace to win the third set.

    What does Jack Draper have left? He's going to have to go the distance if he's to have any chance of booking his place in the third round.

    Let the race for the finish line commence.

  12. Set point Kokkinakispublished at 10:57 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-5 Kokkinakis

    Jack Draper catches his opponent off guard with a crafty body shot to pull level at 30-30, but he's left shaking his head in disappointment after a forehand miss.

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-5 Kokkinakis

    That last service game really got the crowd behind Thanasi Kokkinakis and there's an even bigger roar now as he gets the break.

    Jack Draper needs something special now to stay in the set and keep the celebrations of the Australian fans at bay.

    Both of these players do not want to look at the stats, it was not pretty tennis and unfortunately that is sometimes the way the cookie crumbles at these Grand Slams.

    Harriet Dart just needs to regroup and forget, it's a one set shootout and she needs to go back to basics and not allow Donna Vekic to feel comfortable again. She needs to use these conditions to her advantage and make Donna work for every point.

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-4 Kokkinakis

    A lapse in concentration from Jack Draper perhaps?

    *Dart 6-4 0-6 0-1 Vekic

    Donna Vekic continues her streak of games with a straightforward hold to begin the third set.

    Arthur Cazauz saves another break point and finally gets himself on the third-set scoreboard.

    There's an eruption of noise as Thanasi Kokkinakis, finally, gets the job done.

    Not a lot about the play in this second set has been particularly clean and you can totally understand it with the late night conditions with the wind which picks up and drops and messes with proceedings.
