And that’s where our coverage of the day session ends. The story of the day, unquestionably, was Serena Williams’ exit from the tournament at the hands of Wang Qiang. There won’t be an eighth Australian Open title for Williams this year, but there might be for Novak Djokovic. His campaign is well and truly alive after a facile win over Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka. And while we’re on candidates to go all the way, Australia’s world No 1 Ashleigh Barty was a straight-sets winner over Elena Rybakina. And we said goodbye to Caroline Wozniacki, who retires from tennis after her loss to Ons Jabeur.



But today doesn’t end here. Join us in a short while for our live coverage of the evening session, where Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff will do battle in a much-anticipated clash. As will Roger Federer and Australia’s John Millman. Thanks for your company.
