Hubert Hurkacz to Win
Draper impressed in his win over Baez in straight sets but has a much tougher assignment in Hurkacz. The tenth seed has not had the best of times on the clay court and will want to give a better account of himself.

An eager Rafael Nadal welcomed him in Melbourne Park, where he impressed by taking a set from him. On his return, he showed progress to the fourth round but injury stopped him in his tracks against Carlos Alcaraz.
