Who said what: French Open day 5
Key quotes from the fifth day of the French Open at Roland Garros on Thursday:
"I have wonderful memories for the rest of my life, and that's the main thing. Of course there are matches that you'd love to play again. Some matches I have lost that I would have liked to have won. But I'm lucky to have had a wonderful career and that I was able to fulfil myself as a tennis player."
-- Richard Gasquet after the final match of his career against world number one Jannik Sinner.
"It's one of the best courts in the world, if not the best one. The crowd really pushed me to win this match, because I think if I was playing in Asia or whatever, I'm not at all sure that I could have finished the match. And to win it, almost zero percent chance."
-- Frenchman Arthur Fils after defying a back injury to beat Jaume Munar in a five-set thriller on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
"What I consider a complete lack of respect -- and here, it happens often -- is that they sing non-stop, they interrupt continuously. And in the end it keeps the game from moving forward. It's not even a question of emotional or personal impact, it's simply that play cannot go on as normal."
-- Spain's Munar was not as impressed by the crowd on Roland Garros' second court.
"I think it's tough to fly there. I don't know. I don't know what (Andrey) Rublev asked. Maybe he asked to play night session just to bother me."
-- Paris Saint-Germain fan Fils on the prospect of flying to Munich to watch their Champions League final against Inter Milan, which could clash with his third-round match against Rublev on Saturday.
"I don't have my school anymore. I'm finished. I'm done. So thank God. I have one problem less."
-- Mirra Andreeva, who was still doing school work during her run to the semi-finals last year.
"I was not thinking this way (with belief). I was checking the (flight) tickets already in my head... It was not like if I lose, I would be upset. No, I would be happy and I would be home today in Monaco at 9:00 in the evening."
-- Alexander Bublik after coming from two sets down to knock out ninth seed Alex de Minaur.
"The solution is you shorten it, because what's going to happen is players' careers are going to get shorter and shorter because they're just going to burn out mentally. There's just too much tennis."
-- Australia's De Minaur on the intense ATP Tour schedule.
"There are some people who do go over their time. I just try to inch my way out there, like, 'Okay, it's time to get off the court'."
-- Coco Gauff on how she approaches players who over-run their scheduled practice time.
"Everyone is different. But I think, you know, this carrot thing started back in the days in Vienna. My logo came out a little bit later, which is the fox logo. But, you know, maybe carrots are a bit easier to find also, I guess. It's a bit easy."
-- Sinner on his fans attending his matches dressed in carrot costumes.
"That's all my words in French. I've used all the terminology I know in two questions."
-- Novak Djokovic during his on-court interview after defeating Corentin Moutet. He answered another question in French.
"I love French fries, which is not good in Paris. Not good."
-- Jessica Pegula on her favourite food.
