Ash Barty has had her problems with Alison Riske, but she scraped past her nemesis to keep hopes of a home title alive.

Afterwards, while Roger Federer faced Marton Fucsovics, David and Matt went round to Catherine’s apartment to watch the last match of the day, drink beer and eat snacks galore. Then they recorded the Day 7 pod to look back on the day. How far can Federer go? What aggro went on between Fabio Fognini and Tennys Sandgren? And who will win between Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev.

Plus, Mats Wilander spoke to David to assess the state of the men’s game.
