In Australia, Jack Draper triumphed in a challenging first-round match of the Australian Open against Argentina's Mariano Navone. Draper, who is ranked 15th, fought back from two sets to one down to secure the win with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 after four hours and one minute of intense play. Despite committing 88 unforced errors during the match, Draper expressed pride in his resilience and determination to pull through the tough battle. His performance was particularly impressive given that he had been grappling with a hip injury sustained in the pre-season, which had forced him to miss significant training and competitions, including a training block with Carlos Alcaraz and the United Cup.
