On a day when Andy Murray was finally put away by the Spanish wall and Novak Djokovic limped his way into the fourth round, James Gray of inews.co.uk and the i newspaper gives you the lowdown from Down Under.

  • Murray had a debt of lactic and energy to pay after his late-night finish against Thanasi Kokkinakis and the interest rate was too high as he was beaten 6-1 6-7(7) 6-3 6-4 by Roberto Bautista Agut.
  • Djokovic's hamstring has been troubling him all week but one leg was enough to beat Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets
  • Magda Linette sprang an upset to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova
  • Caroline Garcia is a dangerous No 4 seed and overcame a scare to beat Laura Siegmund
