French Open--what they said

I like to play on big courts with a lot of people. It motivates me a lot.

Gisela Dulko

I was playing well. I really did what I had to do to upset her. Then I started thinking, and maybe that removed something from my play.

Mathilde Johansson

There was a lot of stress on me. It was not easy to manage these feelings, but really, I enjoyed it, to see the crowd there, waiting for me on center court, the first match. It’s always so nice to be waited for....But let’s be careful. That’s a pitfall.

Aravane Rezai (translated from the French)

I was not showing as good results as I would like to, but I knew this moment has to pass, because I deserve better.
