Jack Draper showed his huge potential but saw his Wimbledon run end in the second round with defeat by 19th seed Alex De Minaur.

He continued to fight with everything he had and tried to retrieve an early break in the fourth but, for this year at least, Draper fell just short. Draper tried to stay with De Minaur but shots that were coming off in the first two sets flew long or into the net. Draper then had three chances to break at the start of the second but could not take any and, in hindsight, it was an important opportunity missed.

Alex de Minaur made it a golden day for Wimbledon's newest power couple as he outlasted Britain's Jack Draper, with girlfriend Katie Boulter watching on ...

Draper admitted in Surbiton last week that his body was not yet ready for five-set combat. With that in mind, the second-set tiebreak felt crucial to his chances of victory. His lefty serve and forehand are the standout strokes but his backhand was exceptional last night in both attack and defence. At 5-5, Draper made his attack on the De Minaur serve. Yet as the first set progressed, Draper outgunned him. It felt a little like Andy Murray’s five-set loss to David Nalbandian in 2005, when the Scottish teenager’s talent could not be matched by his cramping body.

Alex de Minaur has staged an exciting comeback to join fellow Australian Nick Kyrgios in the Wimbledon third round.

"As long as I get to play on these courts, I'm honoured to be here, happy to be here and looking forward to another chance," de Minaur said. Try as he might, Draper didn't get a look in on de Minaur's serves in the third and fourth sets as Australia's 19th seed safely advanced to a third-round meeting on Saturday with another Brit, inspired wildcard Liam Broady. Rain caused the second-round match to be stopped for almost an hour while the roof was closed on show court No.1 and the delay threatened to leave de Minaur hanging for the night.
