Third seed Carlos Alcaraz will take on 15th seed Jack Draper in the fourth round of the Australian Open. The winner of their fourth career meeting will proceed to the quarter-finals for a tie against Novak Djokovic or Jiri Lehecka. Find below, our prediction for this match.

Jack Draper is having another strong showing at a major. The Briton has qualified for the second week of competition for the third time at a Grand Slam.

He will now seek to at least equal his run to the semi-finals at the US Open last year. Draper, who is unbeaten this season, has needed a decider in each of his three matches in Melbourne. He defeated Aleksandar Vukic to progress to this round.

Draper, who defeated Alcaraz on grass last season at Queens Club, has moved up to 15th in the live ranking.

Carlos Alcaraz has defeated Draper twice in their three previous battles. With a dominant start to his run in Melbourne, he will be confident of another victory in this fixture.

The world number three has been in superb form, losing just one set in his three matches. That was the third set against Nuno Borges in the third round.

Alcaraz is seeking to become the youngest Men’s athlete to complete a career Grand Slam. It is only the Norman Brookes trophy that the 21-year-old has yet to get his hands on.
