British No 1 Jack Draper smashed his racquet in fury during third set of his third round match at at the Australian Open.

Draper had led by a set against Australian hope Aleksandar Vukic, but the home favourite levelled the match by taking the second.

Frustration showed for Draper when Vukic moved to set point in the third, with the British star unable to return a serve.

Draper was immediately seen destroying his racquet, leading to the 15th seed being handed a court violation by the umpire.

Vukic went on to claim the set, leaving Draper facing the prospect of needing to win in five sets for the third consecutive match if he is to reach the fourth round.
