PLAYER OF THE DAY: Garbine Muguruza - the Spanish star crushed Zarina Diyas 6-1 6-1 to continue her stunning form. She has dropped just 10 games en route to the fourth round.

STAT OF THE DAY: Seven-time champion Serena Williams has made the second week of the tournament for a jaw-dropping 16th time after a 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 win over Russian teen Anastasia Potapova.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "We're guests here so whatever works for the safety of everyone ... we're all just really happy to be playing anyway so I'm sad but I know what the priority is." - Naomi Osaka on the prospect of no crowds for the next five days after Victorian premier Dan Andrews shut the state down following a COVID-19 surge.

TOURNAMENT SUMMARY: Muguruza's victory sets up a heavyweight clash with 2019 champion Osaka, who had a straight-sets win of her own, over Ons Jabeur. As the big guns in the women's draw rolled on, former semi-finalists Alexander Zverev, seeded sixth, and 18th-ranked Grigor Dimitrov, of Bulgaria, moved into the fourth round of the men's championship.
