Jack Draper, the British No. 1, found himself overcome with frustration during his third-round match at the Australian Open.

The 22-year-old, who had been in control earlier in the match, ended up taking out his anger on his racquet.

Unpredictable Turn of Events

Draper initially had the advantage, taking the first set against Australian hopeful Aleksandar Vukic.

However, Vukic bounced back strongly, leveling the match by winning the second set.

As the third set progressed, tensions were high, especially when Vukic reached set point, leaving Draper unable to return a serve.

A Moment of Outrage

In a rare display of frustration, Draper quickly destroyed his racquet.

The outburst did not go unnoticed, as the umpire immediately handed him a court violation.

With Vukic winning the third set, Draper was left to regroup and face the challenge of potentially having to play five sets for the third consecutive match if he hopes to advance to the fourth round.

What’s Next for Draper?

With the match heating up, Draper will need to dig deep to turn the momentum around and continue his fight in the tournament.

The pressure is on as he faces the possibility of another long, hard-fought battle to keep his Australian Open dream alive.
