Briton Jack Draper played a tough and long match in 30-degree heat in Melbourne.
The first round of the Australian Open competition has ended. The 55th racket of the world, the British Jack Draper, fought his match on Tuesday against the 66th ranked American Marcos Giron.
Let’s remember that the European won a tough five-set match. In the end, the tennis players had to spend 3 hours and 17 minutes on the court, and it was in 30-degree heat, which was in Melbourne at the time.
Marcos Giron (USA) – Jack Draper (UK) – 4:6, 6:3, 6:4, 0:6, 2:6
Not surprisingly, after the match, Draper felt sick on the court itself. The Briton hurried to shake Chiron’s hand, and then quickly ran to the ballot box. Moreover, the 22-year-old tennis player threw up to the applause of the fans who congratulated him on his victory. In the 2nd round of the competition, Jack will face 14th seeded Tommy Paul from the USA.
