JACK Draper is relishing the chance to take on Novak Djokovic again after continuing the defence of his Indian Wells title by reaching the last 16.

Draper is relishing clash with Djokovic

Jack Draper plays a forehand on his way to victory over Francisco Cerundolo in their third round match of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells Tennis Garden, California

The 24-year-old is playing just his second ATP Tour event since last summer following nearly eight months out with an arm injury and battled to a 6-1 7-5 win over Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo.

Draper will now take on 24-time grand slam champion Djokovic for just the second time, five years after he lost in four sets on his Wimbledon debut.

"I know what to expect from Novak," Draper told a press conference in California.

"I have been watching him since I was young. He's obviously, I think, the greatest tennis player of all time. His mentality and just his level of tennis is always incredibly high.
