French Open--what they said

Some people say the woman tennis is really boring. What's your point of view about that?
"I think they're kind of wrong."
Samantha Stosur

"In the third I had an opportunity and I got really tight, and I pretty much gave it to her. It was like, 'Here, you know, do you want to go to the semis? Because I don't.' She was like, 'Okay'."
Serena Williams

When you had to interrupt your career because of Lyme disease, at that time when youwere down, did you ever imagine that you would be able to come back and play at such a level? Did you ever imagine you could reach one day a Grand Slam semifinal?
"I guess I wasn't really thinking about Grand Slams or winning tournaments or anything like that at that stage. It was more just trying to get healthy and leave my apartment, basically."
Samantha Stosur

"I would say normally I would think that she would win first set and I'll have to win second set. So it was very confusing."
Svetlana Kuznetsova, on playing her quarterfinal against Serena Williams

Do you wish there was more of a gap between the seasons?
"No, I mean, because now it's like, Okay, well, I lost here. Maybe I can do better at Wimbledon. I wish it were tomorrow."
Serena Williams

The men say always in this tournament they are playing almost on cement. This is hardcourt, it's not clay. You're insisting about saying about clay, clay, clay. So what it means? You are a specialist on clay? It's really clay or not? What about this surface?
"Well, did you see the sand? I still have after clay in my hair. I think it's the clay."
Svetlana Kuznetsova
