Good night!

Lachlan Harper

Thanks for tuning into Wide World of Sports' LIVE coverage of the Australian Open.

If Thanasi Kokkinakis won that, it would've set up a mouth-watering all-Australian clash against Alexsandar Vukic.

But it wasn't to be, and Draper will be the one facing Vukic.

We'll be back tomorrow, catch you then!

The Kokk is out!

Lachlan Harper

He was valiant in defeat, but it's all over for Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Jack Draper was ruthless in the final game, holding Kokkikankis to love.

"Draper completes the comeback and breaks Australia's hearts, a super match from two wonderful competitors," Todd Woodridge said on Nine.

Is this the defining moment?

Lachlan Harper

Thanasi Kokkinakis has been broken!

There's hands in the heads in the crowd.

Jack Draper now serving for the match at 5-3.

"He's got a chance to break hearts again here," Todd Woodbridge said on Nine in reference to Draper defeating de Minaur before.

Chair umpire fires up

Lachlan Harper

This Australian crowd is getting behind their man.

But the chair umpire is keeping things under control.

She tells the crowd "cheering is excellent" but to stop doing it between serves.

Pressure on Kokkinakis

Lachlan Harper

They're going game for game here at John Cain Arena.

Draper leads 3-2 with Kokkinakis now on serve.

Aussies lose another

Lachlan Harper

Talia Gibson misses out in the second round of the Australian Open.

Paula Badosa was just way too good for the 20-year-old Aussie, winning 6-1, 6-0.

Too easy for Zverev

Lachlan Harper

It's a relatively straightforward night for Alexander Zverev.

He didn't hold back with that performance, finishing with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 victory.

Spaniard Pedro Martínez officially out of the tournament.

Draper sends it to five

Liam O'Loughlin

A huge turn of events on John Cain Arena.

Kokkinakis looked all-but certain to secure the match in four sets, but Draper has shown plenty of fight to come back and win it 7-5 to force a decider.

It's not over yet

Liam O'Loughlin

Kokkinakis has the chance to serve for the game, but Draper shows plenty of resilience to break the Aussie to love and keep his hopes alive.

Draper holds serve and he now leads 6-5 in the fourth set and it's over to Kokkinakis to send it to a tiebreak.

One game away

Liam O'Loughlin

The shoulder injury is starting to bother Kokkinakis now and he needs to get this done in four sets, otherwise it's only going to get worse in a decider.

He holds serve to make it 5-3 and is now just one game away from advancing.

Kokkinakis is zoned in and the crowd are right with him.
