TOMMY HAAS ON A NEW ERA IN MEN’S TENNIS - ’The new era is here right. As a Tournament Director you always want the top players to be part of it, but for different reasons we don’t have some of the all-time greats here on the men’s side with one being retired, one injured and one wasn’t granted entry into the country, so you’re looking at the next generation and the new era’.
CARLOS ALCARAZ ON DEALING WITH BEING UNDER THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT - ‘I think this is the first time I’ve been top seed in a Masters 1000, so it’s great, but honestly I don’t think too much about it and just enjoy and of course with social media, with the fans and everything outside the court, I’m trying to enjoy as well, so you can see me always smiling and not taking the pressure on board’.
CASPER RUUD ON HIS SLOW START TO 2023 - ’There’s no hiding the fact it hasn’t been what I had hoped for, but it’s a long year, so I don’t feel stressed and I hope from this week on, things can go well for me and belief in myself and motivation is very high’.
FACUNDO LAGONES ON CAMERON NORRIE’S DEVELOPMENT - ‘It’s really fun to watch and he’s still growing and he’s more mature than last year. I feel there were two big changes, one when he turned pro and you could see him developing more as a grown-up and it’s not just his tennis, with his career everything became like a business to him and then the second big jump came during lockdown when he became even more mature and he focussed everything on his tennis’.
YIBING WU ON MISSING HOME - ‘It’s a really long time that I haven’t been at home, nearly a year and a half and I can’t see my parents, my grand parents of my friends back in China, so whenever I have the chance to go back I always take a bike, ride around the neighbourhood or even around some famous buildings and just feel the city and feel that I am part of the city’.
