CNN —British tennis player Jack Draper won a grueling five-set match against American Marcos Giron at the Australian Open on Tuesday, then immediately raced to a courtside bin to throw up.
It was Draper’s first-ever victory in the main draw of the Australian Open and set up a second-round match against another American – 14th seed Tommy Paul.

It was cramping, spasming.”Draper is into the second round of the Australian Open for the first time in his young career.
At that point in the match, Draper took a break and returned to the court with renewed energy.
