MARK WOODFORDE ON NOVAK DJOKOVIC'S PLACE IN HISTORY - ‘For me that’s the tie-break between the trio, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, the amount of Grand Slams and they all deserve to have that title, the greatest of all-time, but he has elevated himself alone finally. He was the third person in this group, so it has been a tremendous journey until now where he’s in the clear’.
MARK WOODFORDE ON CASPER RUUD - ‘He’s the one that’s won the most clay court matches recently, the most clay court tournaments and he’s learnt from losing to Nadal last year and if Novak wasn’t here this year, along with Nadal’s absence, the Norwegian could have been lifting the trophy’.
LUCIE AHL ON THE DJOKOVIC v ALCARAZ MATCH - ‘It was an unbelievable two sets and I think Djokovic would have admitted that physically he was struggling after two sets and I didn’t expect that to happen to Alcaraz, so I think we’re going to remember that Alcaraz cramped and forget what happened in the first two sets and also perhaps forget that we should never write off Djokovic’.
ALEX CORRETJA ON CARLOS ALCARAZ’S PARENTS - ’They educated him in a way that he feels like he’s not more important than anyone else and they also let the coaches do their job and I think this is very important and of course, I think this is very important, they tell him everyday how important it is to be grateful to people and to be well educated’.
ROLAND GARROS DOUBLES CHAMPION AUSTIN KRAJICEK ON PARIS - ‘Paris is now officially my favourite city and continues to deliver, so I would absolutely say it’s my favourite place to play at the moment and it’s just an amazing venue. I really have a good feeling here in Paris and we like to play on clay and it suits our game well and I think we’ve been playing some good stuff’.
