Brits giving Aussies plenty to shout about

DRAPER DRIVEN BY 'ABUSE' AS FEARNLEY HAS A PARTY

- From Neil McLeman in Melbourne

JACK DRAPER told Aussie fans: "The more you shout, the better I will play" after beating Thanasi Kokkinakis and outrageous sledging to set up another Ashes battle.

Draper joined fellow Briton Jacob Fearnley, who reached a Grand Slam event third round for the first time in another "crazy atmosphere" on a drunken Court 6 and will now face world No.2 Alexander Zverev.

British No.1 Draper won the longest match of the tournament so far against home favourite Kokkinakis despite being booed into the John Cain Arena and receiving "abuse" throughout the five-set epic, which finished at 11.55pm local time.
