STAT OF THE DAY: Defending men's champion Novak Djokovic is into the second week of a grand slam for the 50th time following his straight-sets dispatch of Yoshihito Nishioka.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I am just a better actress, as I always say now. I'm no happier than I was 10 years ago. But I just have to pretend like I don't want to punch the wall, but in reality I do." - Williams conceding the losses still sting even at 38.
TOURNAMENT SUMMARY: World No.1 Ashleigh Barty is the new women's title favourite following Williams' exit and her own impressive straight-sets win over Elena Rybakina. Seventh seed Petra Kvitova remains a threat after following Barty into the last 16, but 10th seed Madison Keys joined Williams on the scrapheap with a shock loss to Maria Sakkari.
