Jack Draper survived a scare to defeat Jenson Brooksby 7-5, 6-4 and book his place in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells for the second time in his career.

The British No 1 trailed 4-1 in the first set against the world No 937 but a rare moment of frustration inspired his fightback to claim victory in two sets. Trailing 4-2 and on the Brooksby serve, Draper threw his racket to the floor but followed his outburst by winning the next three points as he clawed his way back into the match.
