I watched 3 games at the start of the third set.  Zverev's level was very, very high.  It has still been a good tournament for Jake.

Thanks for the quick report. I never expected Jake to win this but from the scores, he didn't get flattened (which was also a possibility I feared.)

And with breaking Zverev's serve in the second and third sets (and getting break points in another game), it looks like Jake was doing something he seems to do quite well: figuring out a new opponent in the first set and adjusting his own game to better counter him.

So yes, a good tournament and should be a new CH at the end of it, inside the top 80!

Good effort for a first AO slam. Third round is pretty tidy. Now lets see how far Jake can go in 2025. Exciting times!

Thank you Jack, you going a break down provided nice win set 1 odds to invest in 

Though you haven't done this win the first set thing here this year so far, so I hope it all continues to go well.

Oh my. Yes mate, it's even better odds for winning set 2 from 2 breaks down but I'm not taking that one.

6-4 0-3*

Vukic is absolutely on fire in the second set. He goes 3-0 up with two breaks.

The Aussie well on top set 2 though and looks like he has stepped it up.

I see Djoko just won, although seemed in an irritable mood today. Comfortable result though

Draper isn't really doing anything wrong. He level is normal.  But he is 5-0 down.

I would be very, very suprised if Vukic can maintain this level for the rest of the match

 I was though drawn in at *0-4 at 8/1. Don't know what the odds got to at 0-5*!

Anyway, now 2-5*
