Cameron Norrie defeated Jenson Brooksby to reach his 12th ATP Tour final in Auckland but Jack Draper will head to Melbourne to prepare for Monday’s Australian Open clash with Rafael Nadal after losing in Adelaide.
The 21-year-old was bidding to made a first ATP Tour final and was the favourite against South Korea’s Kwon Soon-woo, who he beat comfortably at the same venue last week.
But this was a different story, with Draper falling to a 6-7 (6) 7-6 (2) 6-3 loss in a gruelling contest lasting two hours and 45 minutes.
