PLAYER OF THE DAY: World No.1 Ashleigh Barty continued her twin title assault with a resounding third-round singles win over British wildcard Harriet Dart before partnering Victoria Azarenka with a second-round doubles victory.
STAT OF THE DAY: Eighttimes champion Roger Federer became the first player — man or woman — ever to win 350 grand slam matches with his 7-5 6-2 7-6 (7-4) win over Lucas Pouille.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Is it fair to play here? Damned English damned really. Wish a bomb would explode on this club — a bomb should explode here.” — Italian hot-head Fabio Fognini, already on probation, faces grand slam banishment for an extraordinary attack on the All England Club. TOURNAMENT SUMMARY: Federer’s win thrust the ageless Swiss into the second week for a 17th time, while Rafael Nadal’s straight-sets rout of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga leaves the grand slam giants on a semi-final collision course. Barty is a win away from a potential quarter-final blockbuster with Serena Williams after the 23-times major champ’s routine win over Julia Goerges.
