- Norrie defeated Giulio Zeppieri 3-6, 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-4, 6-4
- Draper outclassed by 14th seed Tommy Paul in four sets
Cameron Norrie is the last remaining British player in the men’s and women’s singles at the Australian Open after he recovered from two sets down to defeat Giulio Zeppieri 3-6, 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, giving a full demonstration of his grit and nerve as he reached the third round in Melbourne Park.
Armed with an enormous lefty serve and forehand, Zeppieri, an Italian qualifier, dominated Norrie for two sets with his destructive ballstriking. But Norrie remained composed, he began to take control in the second set and never let up, methodically turning the match around.
