New York (AFP) - Who said what at the US Open on Wednesday, the 10th day of the 2022 championships at Flushing Meadows:
"My hotel room right now is a disgrace too.Yeah, it's pretty bad.Clothes everywhere.My player bank is diabolical.Yeah, it's getting the job done, so who cares right now."
-- Frances Tiafoe on his courtside clutter.
"He liked a lot of candy and chocolates and cookies.He'd eat at unusual times.He missed breakfast a lot.He was, in my opinion, not really professional enough."
-- Wayne Ferreira, the coach of Frances Tiafoe who has made the semi-finals of a Slam for the first time.
"I still don't know I did it.It was a high quality and unbelievable match.Jannik is a great player.I will never be tired of saying that all the wins I have here are due to the amazing support."
-- Carlos Alcaraz on his marathon win over Jannik Sinner
"I think this one will hurt for quite a while."
-- Sinner after his 5-hour, 15-minute defeat
"They took away one opportunity from me, so I worked really hard for this one."
-- Aryna Sabalenka on being motivated to make the semi-finals by the Wimbledon ban on Belarusian and Russian players.
"Let me double-check.I just don't really know the surname, but just know the name Gavin."
-- Sabalenka struggling to recall the coach who has helped her improve her service action.
"I should be positive.At the same time I'm like, three quarter-finals.Sorry, but it sucks.It sucks."
-- Jessica Pegula after her defeat by Iga Swiatek which was her fourth Slam quarter-final loss.
"I'm trying to pee for doping.Although it does help ease the loss."
-- Pegula drinking a can of beer at her post-match news conference.
"Seems like i am watching a table tennis match @janniksin vs @carlosalcaraz."
-- Former Spanish player Feliciano Lopez on Twitter watching the Alcaraz v Sinner quarter-final.
