    It's all over for Dan Evans. That mammoth first-round win against Karen Khachanov - the longest match in US Open history - has finally caught up with the Briton.

    The 34-year-old fought hard to level the tie at one set apiece, but his energy levels dropped considerably and he needed a medical timeout early in the third set.

    With Evans unable to challenge, Australia's 10th seed De Minaur went on a 12-game winning streak to wrap up a 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 6-0 6-0 victory.

    Italian top seed Jannik Sinner is heading towards the fourth round after going a break up in the third set against Australia's Christopher O'Connell on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

    Van de Zandschulp 3-6 4-6 2-6 Draper

    Jack Draper on his third-round victory over Botic van de Zandschulp:

    "First of all, I think Botic [van de Zandschulp] played an incredible match against Carlos [Alcaraz]. It's not always easy to go on that big stage and play such a player like Carlos and then come out the next round and feel really good because it's just so tiring being put in that situation so credit to him. I thought I played a solid match today. It was a little bit scrappy, a little bit up and down but I got through in the end.

    On his year so far, including winning his first title and beating Carlos Alcaraz at Queen's :

    "Last year, I had a tough year with injuries. This year, I've been able to stay on court to compete all the time on the tour against the best players in the world. This is why I put all the hard work in, to play in front of you guys on the biggest stages in the world so I'm really, really happy and grateful for all the great people around me and we keep wanting more.

    On playing well in New York:

    "I think it's the conditions and the courts. I love the courts here. They're sort of fast but they're also slow at the same time and just the energy I get from the crowd and people supporting me. This is what the players work so hard for, to come out here and to play in front of you guys so it's really special to get the support every time I play."

    David Law
    Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds

    Jack Draper sends a message. He wants to go deep at this US Open and he believes it's possible. He believes anything is possible.

    And after a performance like that against the guy that beat Carlos Alcaraz, why not?

    Jack Draper is yet to drop a set at this year's US Open following another accomplished performance against Boticvan de Zandschulp.

    There it is!

    Jack Draper seals his spot in the US Open fourth round, earning match point with a delicate volley before finishing off with a forehand winner.

    The Briton celebrates by removing his cap and applauding the fans on Grandstand.

  14. 'Exciting that it's not Draper's best performance'published at 19:58 British Summer Time 31 August

    Naomi Broady
    British player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds

    I think what's quite exciting as well is that I don't think this has necessarily been Jack Draper's best performance. Maybe you're not able to have a performance that feels your best when you're playing somebody of the game style of Botic van de Zandschulp, who is not going to give you any rhythm and it is going to be quite hit and miss.

    Hopefully you can beat these players with levels still within you.

    Botic van de Zandschulp has completely lost his composure here.

    The Dutchman serves three double faults - that's five in a row after a couple in his previous service game.

    The crowd try and lift Van de Zandschulp but he goes into the net next point and Jack Draper will now serve for a place in the fourth round.

    A deep breath from Jack Draper as he prepares to serve to try and consolidate the break.

    The Briton rattles down another ace before an exquisite serve and volley to move to game point.

    Draper pulls a forehand wide put wins the game as Boticvan de Zandschulp then hits a wild shot out of play.

    Despite winning the first set, Julian Cash and American partner Robert Galloway can't finish the job in the second round of their men's doubles match.

    The British-American team have lost in three sets to the all-American duo Tristan Boyer and Emilio Nava.

    Boyer and Nava, who are unseeded, will face another Brit in round three in Neal Skupski and his New Zealand teammate Michael Venus, who are the eighth seeds.

    Boticvan de Zandschulp puts a backhand long - his 29th unforced error of the match - as Jack Draper moves into a 15-30 lead.

    The Briton mirrors Van de Zandschulp's mistake, but the Dutchman serves a double fault next point to offer a break point to Draper.

    Remarkably, Van de Zandschulp then serves a second double fault to gift Draper the break.

    Boticvan de Zandschulp has been quick to many of Jack Draper's dropshots this match and races forward again to take advantage of another.

    The Dutchman holds as he works Jack Draper wide with the Briton unable to get a forehand back into play.

    The DJ blasts out some music which signals a change of ends for the players.
