Jack Draper Overcomes Physical Struggles to Win Five-Set Match at Australian Open

Despite Vomiting Immediately After the Match, Draper Attributes His Struggles to Psychological Stress

British tennis player Jack Draper won a grueling five-set match against American Marcos Giron at the Australian Open, then immediately raced to a courtside bin to throw up.
Despite the heat, Draper attributed most of his physical struggles to the “psychological stress” of playing at a grand slam.
Draper’s physical issues were evident throughout the match against Giron as he took a medical timeout at the end of the second set and then left the court at the start of the third.
It was Draper’s first-ever victory in the main draw of the Australian Open and set up a second-round match against another American – 14th seed Tommy Paul.
Draper has been working hard on his fitness and he fought back to win 6-4 3-6 4-6 6-0 6-2 after three hours and 20 minutes.
