Welcome back to the Evening Standard’s live coverage of the 2020 Australian Open.

The biggest shock of the tournament so far saw Serena Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, dumped out after a superb display from Qiang Wang.

The 38-year-old bows out after the Chinese no.27 seed clinched a 6-4, 6-7, 7-5 success in a thrilling match that lasted two hours and 45 minutes.

The third round kicked off with world no.1, and hometown favourite, Ash Barty inside the Rod Laver Arena and she didn't disappoint, beating Elena Rybakina 6-3, 6-2.

No.3 seed Naomi Osaka faces 15-year-old wonderkid Coco Gauff in what is billed as the tie of the round.

In the men's draw, no.2 seed Novak Djokovic strolled past Yoshihito Nishikori in straight sets before Stefanos Tsitsipas and Milos Raonic do battle. Roger Federer and local man John Millman will wrap up the day.
