We may have had the Serena celebration, but we haven\'t had her final match. Not yet. At the end of an extraordinary evening - which saw Serena honoured on court before, during and after her victory over Danka Kovinic - David, Catherine and Matt try to sum it all up. Why was it better to stage Serena\'s ceremony tonight rather than after a loss? How much better did her game look than in Cincinnati? And can she now go on a run?

Elsewhere, it was a day of upsets with Simona Halep, Daria Kasatkina, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Taylor Fritz all beaten. We talk about those shocks, Andy Murray\'s first straight sets win at a slam since 2017, why Ons Jabeur is under the radar here, whether we found Dominic Thiem\'s loss to Pablo Carreno Busta worrying or encouraging, and why Bianca Andreescu needs to do some grovelling to Nike.
