    A solid service game from Arthur Cazaux keeps the Frenchman close behind.

    Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 2-4 Kokkinakis*

    Just as the door looks wide open for Jack Draper, Thanasi Kokkinakis slams it in his face.

    The British number one stands with his hands on his hips, barely believing that the Australian has found the line with that overhead.

    Draper will get another crack, though. We go to deuce.

    Jacob Fearnley is closing in, you wouldn't know it from the reactions of the Arthur Cazaux fans in the crowd, they are bowing down and waving French flags.

    An ace followed by a double fault for Jacob Fearnley, and that slip-up allows Arthur Cazaux in - the Frenchman putting away a superb forehand for 30-30.

    Fearnley wins a key point with another ace before another big first serve takes him closer to his goal.

    The scoreboard is looking very, very good indeed for the British player.

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

    Jack Draper holds on. For now.

    The 15th seed sends Thanaski Kokkinakis out wide and the Australian looks like he has hurt himself while sliding into the return, but he shakes it off and continues, with a couple of misses giving Draper the hold.

    Thanasi Kokkinakis is two holds of serve away from his first appearance in the third round of the Australian Open which would match his Grand Slam best - a third-round showing at Roland Garros.

  8. Fearnley breaks in fourth setpublished at 11:33 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Fearnley 3-6 7-5 6-2 3-1 Cazaux

    Jacob Fearnley strikes first in set four!

    That feels like a big, big moment as the Briton continues his comeback from losing that opening set to stand three games away from a place in the third round on his Australian Open debut.

  9. Kokkinakis holdspublished at 11:33 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 2-4 Kokkinakis

    Jack Draper is running out of time. He's got limited opportunities now to harm Thanasi Kokkinakis on serve and break back, while his own service game is looking fragile.

    Sometimes you need that extra bit of help and I think those fans were exactly that for Donna Vekic to will her over the final hurdle.

    For the first time tonight and in over two hours it's a huge beaming smile from Donna Vekic who has been all sober faces and deep breathes, finally she shows elation.

    Game, set and match - Vekicpublished at 11:29 Greenwich Mean Time

    Dart 6-4 0-6 2-6 Vekic

    A phenomenal effort by lucky loser Harriet Dart, but the Briton's Australian Open comes to an end at the hands of 18th seed Donna Vekic.

  13. Draper holdspublished at 11:28 Greenwich Mean Time

    Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 2-3 Kokkinakis*

    Better. Jack Draper trudges to his chair after a forceful forehand wraps up the hold, but once again that wasn't made easy for the Briton.

  14. Match points Vekicpublished at 11:27 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Dart 6-4 0-6 2-5 Vekic

    Donna Vekic can see the finish line. Harriet Dart may just have run out of steam.

    The 18th seed will have three match points after a series of errors from Dart.

  15. Kokkinakis holdspublished at 11:26 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Draper 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 3-6 1-3 Kokkinakis

    Jack Draper looks a bit fed up.

    Things aren't going to plan and he's got a real battle on his hands to claw his way back into this match. To make matters worse he's got most of the crowd in John Cain Arena cheering against him.

    The British 15th seed finds himself 3-1 down as Thanasi Kokkinakis cruises to another hold.

  16. 'It's always about first choices'published at 11:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Dart 6-4 0-6 2-5 Vekic

    Coco Vandeweghe
    Former two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds

    It's just been moments like this for Harriet Dart of indecisions, when it's windy and when the conditions are going against her, you're playing from behind, it's always about first choices, don't second guess yourself.

  17. Vekic holds servepublished at 11:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Dart 6-4 0-6 2-5 Vekic

    Harriet Dart can't make a backhand as the break point passes her by, and Donna Vekic makes her way to safety after coming through another couple of high-pressure points.

    That could be the match. It's a real blow for Harriet Dart to get so close, but now she must serve to stay in the match.

  18. Cazaux holds to lovepublished at 11:23 Greenwich Mean Time

    *Fearnley 3-6 7-5 6-2 1-1 Cazaux

    That lengthy break after the end of the third set seems to have helped Arthur Cazaux out.

    The Frenchman looks refreshed as he forces Jacob Fearnley to fend off a break point in the opening game, while he rattles through a hold to love.

  19. Break point Dartpublished at 11:22 Greenwich Mean Time

    Dart 6-4 0-6 2-4 Vekic*

    Shotttttt!

    Harriet Dart unleashes a terrific backhand to get a break back point. That could be huge.

    Nobody other than the players will really want this final set to come to a conclusion.

  20. Vekic breakspublished at 11:19 Greenwich Mean Time

    Dart 6-4 0-6 2-4 Vekic*

    Nobody in the stands of court 14 is leaving this one early.

    We're beyond 10pm and the skies above Melbourne Park have long been dark, but these two are still slogging it out as we approach two hours of play.

    Oh no! Harriet Dart double-faults at a crucial moment to give Vekic 0-30, and she can't recover. It's advantage Vekic in the decider and Dart needs to produce something special now.
