Alex de Minaur made it a golden day for Wimbledon's newest power couple as he outlasted Britain's Jack Draper, with girlfriend Katie Boulter watching on ...
Draper admitted in Surbiton last week that his body was not yet ready for five-set combat. With that in mind, the second-set tiebreak felt crucial to his chances of victory. His lefty serve and forehand are the standout strokes but his backhand was exceptional last night in both attack and defence. At 5-5, Draper made his attack on the De Minaur serve. Yet as the first set progressed, Draper outgunned him. It felt a little like Andy Murray’s five-set loss to David Nalbandian in 2005, when the Scottish teenager’s talent could not be matched by his cramping body.
Australian Alex de Minaur has matched his career-best result at Wimbledon, progressing to the third round for a second time.
Gentlemen’s singles, third round Gentlemen’s singles, second round Gentlemen’s singles, second round I’m just really proud of my performance.” He’s been inspired,” De Minaur said. For me, I see that match as a very high-quality win against an opponent who has been playing some great tennis.

Men’s singles: He’s knocked out the 12th seed from Argentina on No 3 Court to advance to the third round for the first time in his career. He’s 4-1 up in the final set of his game against the 12th seed Diego Schwarzmann, who has never been beyond the third round of Wimbledon despite his high seeding. Ricardas Berankis may be two sets down but he is giving Rafael Nadal plenty to think about in the third set of their match. Men’s singles: Two sets to one up and 5-3 up in the fourth set, Rafael Nadal serves for the match. Draper is a set up against De Minaur and it’s going with serve in a second set that’s currently tied at 4-4. The covers are pulled on to Centre Court as the rain begins to the shower down from a black cloud hovering overhead. It’s 3-2 in the fourth to De Minaur, who has a break and leads by two sets to one. Men’s singles: In the fourth set of his first ever main tour five-setter, Jack Draper is beginning to look very tired. Men’s singles: Jack Draper’s match against the Aussie Alex De Minaur is turning into quite the contest featuring no end of terrific, hard fought rallies. Fun fact: De Minaur is the boyfriend of Katie Boulter, the Leicestershire lass who played the match of her life to beat last year’s runner-up Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court earlier this afternoon. Draper sends his first serve wide but gets his second one in and another marathon rally ends with him pulling a forehand from the baseline well wide. Men’s singles: A wonderful cross-court backhand drop volley from Jack Draper helps him save a break point and Alex De Minaur loses a subsequent baseline rally when mis-hitting a forehand well wide.
