After battling through an epic night match with home favourite Gael Monfils, Draper swept aside teenage star Joao Fonseca in the third round.
Should Draper beat Bublik, he could face world number Jannik Sinner in what would be a blockbuster quarter-final showdown.
Bublik, who is attempting to reach a first ever Grand Slam quarter-final, was full of praise for Draper when looking ahead to this match.
'Jack for me is insane. I mean, last year the guy is 40 in the world. This year he is top five in the world,' Bublik said.
'That's a crazy achievement. He doesn't seem to stop, so I mean, what do I have to do to beat him? I don't know.

French Open: Carlos Alcaraz beats hurting Tommy Paul 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 to return to semifinals
PARIS — It's tough enough for any player to deal with Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open. When you're not at your absolute best against the defending champion, as was the case for Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals Tuesday night, there's no chance. No. 2 seed Alcaraz returned to the semifinals at Roland-Garros for the third consecutive year with a 6-0, 6-1, 6-4 victory over No. 12 Paul, who had his right thigh heavily taped and was unable to run, serve or hit groundstrokes at full force. 'I've felt better, you know?' said Paul, who had leg and abdominal muscle issues during the tournament. 'Obviously, I went into the match like, 'I want to win the match.' But pretty early on in the match, it was pretty obvious that I wasn't moving amazing.' Didn't help his cause that Alcaraz was at his very best. 'Today was one of those days that you're feeling great. You feel like every shot was going to be in, every shot was going to be a winner,' Alcaraz said. 'You play with a lot of confidence. No fear of anything.' It took just 52 minutes for him to collect the first two sets. The 22-year-old Spaniard compiled a 23-5 edge in winners in that span, and the final totals were 40-13. 'He played some great tennis. Returned very well. Had me on my back foot all the time. Playing so fast,' Paul said. 'Even on the changeovers, I felt like he was getting up with 20 seconds left. I was like, 'You got to slow down.'' Things got more competitive in the third set, which Paul led 4-3 as some spectators at Court Philippe-Chatrier chanted his first name. But Alcaraz grabbed the next three games to wrap things up after a little more than 1 1/2 hours. 'At Grand Slams, the less time you spend on court, it's great to save energy for the next matches,' said Alcaraz, who is seeking his fifth major trophy. 'Can't ask for a better performance.' He is the first reigning men's champion in Paris to get back to the semifinals the next year since 14-time French Open champion Rafael Nadal in 2021. He improved to 20-1 on red clay this season and leads the men's tour with 35 wins and three titles. Alcaraz's opponent in the semifinals will be No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti, who eliminated No. 15 Frances Tiafoe in four sets earlier Tuesday. The last two men's quarterfinals are Wednesday: No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. unseeded Alexander Bublik, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev vs. 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic. Paul, a semifinalist at the 2023 Australian Open, and Tiafoe, a two-time semifinalist at the U.S. Open, were the first American men to get to the round of eight at Roland-Garros since Andre Agassi in 2003 — and the first pair to do so in the same year since Jim Courier and Pete Sampras in 1996. Since Agassi completed his career Grand Slam by winning the French Open in 1999, U.S. men are now 1-60 against opponents ranked in the top 10 at the clay-court tournament.

Watch: Lorenzo Musetti kicks ball at line judge but escapes with warning
Lorenzo Musetti was frustrated at times against Frances Tiafoe and responded well to win in four sets - Getty Images/Adam Pretty Italian No 2 Lorenzo Musetti put himself at risk of disqualification when he kicked a loose ball into the body of a line judge. Yet Musetti got away with a warning from the chair umpire – an outcome which surprised a number of observers – and then went on to defeat Frances Tiafoe to move into the French Open semi-finals. Tiafoe described the lack of action as 'comical' in his post-match press conference. 'Obviously he did that and nothing happened,' Tiafoe said. 'I think that's comical, but it is what it is. Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is.' Advertisement Meanwhile, Rennae Stubbs, the former world doubles No 1, wrote on the X: 'Musetti is VERY LUCKY to be still on court right now. You cannot kick a ball and it hit the lines person and not be defaulted. I know he didn't mean it but no one does, man, this is BAD! And he's out there playing right, knowing he could easily have been in the locker room!' The obvious point of comparison was the ejection of Novak Djokovic from his fourth-round match at the 2020 US Open for flicking a ball into the neck of a line judge. The Musetti ball probably did not travel as quickly as Djokovic's did, but the greater difference lay in where it landed, which was on the body rather than such a sensitive area as the throat. The judge in question barely seemed to notice the contact, whereas in 2020, the unfortunate Laura Clark immediately collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe. Another disqualification made headlines at the French Open two years ago when Japanese doubles player Miyu Kato tried to pass a ball to a ball girl with her racket, but ended up hitting her on the head and moving her to tears. Advertisement At the time, Alex Corretja, the commentator and former French Open finalist, said that 'it was too strict to disqualify her because it [the flight of the ball] was very slow'. Kato later described the penalty as 'unjust' but an appeal to tournament organisers was rejected. As for Musetti, he was behind in the second set at the time of Tuesday's incident, and seemed particularly irritated when Tiafoe held serve to move to a 5-3 advantage. Tiafoe could be seen pointing out the judge to the umpire, and then discussing what had happened, before the code-violation warning was eventually announced. Yet Musetti recovered his composure and began to move ahead in the match, eventually closing out a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory to earn a place in the last four. Advertisement 'It's a process of growing, not just inside the court but especially off the court,' he said during his on-court interview. 'Last year I became a father. I think that gave me an extra responsibility and I now approach things in a more professional way, not just on the court in matches but in my daily routine.'
