Summary

Day three at the Australian Open was another good one and it will be remembered for the astonishing Grand Slam debut of Joao Fonseca. Catherine, David and Matt review it all.

Part one - Men's results. Fonseca rocks Rublev - what's so special about him? Medvedev survives against the World No.418, De Minaur beats Botic, Shelton impresses against Nakashima, Musetti wins awkward Italian showdown with Arnaldi, Monfils puts on a show to beat Mpetshi Perricard.

Part two (from 39m30s) - Women's results. Raducanu survives shaky second serve to set up Anisimova clash, Stearns' nerves get the better of her against Navarro, an easy day for Rybakina but a tough one for Sensations.

Part three (from 60m10s) - Day 4 Order of Play.
