"Every time I see a young player coming, they have a lot of hunger, for sure. They fight a lot, for sure, because it's their dream place. But same as me, it's my dream place too. When you arrive in the professional tour, you don't think about anymore about the age because everybody's the same. You just face another opponent. Doesn't matter for me. If is world No. 1, whether it's 100, doesn't matter the age."
Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen won't be wearing kid gloves when facing 18-year-old Grand Slam debutant Victoria Mboko in her next match.
"Well, I mean, he's free. I'm lucky he could come here to Paris, watch a few of my matches. Just talking that he has to bring, you know, the materials to cut my hair that I needed. I think everybody saw my hair, my beard. So I had to do something, about it."
Carlos Alcaraz had his barber fly into Paris to give him a trim ahead of his second round win against Fabian Marozsan.
"Well, it's not the best. Normally I am the person who goes to bed late. Yeah, during the tournament, it's not easy to find the sleep anyway. Yeah, but it's fine. It's fine. I'm very happy with his performance, the way that he fought yesterday. Of course, I mean, I cannot allow myself to be frustrated for him to make this match long."
Elina Svitolina was up early to win the second match of the day on Court Simonne Mathieu after her husband Monfils fought through in five sets in the night session on Tuesday.
"I live in a tough situation, Juventus. It's not easy to speak about football. But yeah, I'll go with Italian. I'll go with the Inter. I think they made a really, really nice two matches with Barcelona. I will go with them. A few players that I know of Inter. I'll try to watch the match."
Italian eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti looks ahead to Saturday's Champions League final between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
"I practice pretty early so then I can spend the whole day kind of chilling. It's nothing special. Usually I don't go out right before the match so I just go to the park, do some Lego, read a book. I don't watch too many TV shows because then I have weird dreams!"
"I have to stick to the things that calm me down. Paris is beautiful so just having a walk outside is a nice experience so that I'm not overthinking it."
Triple reigning champion Iga Swiatek shares some of her secrets for success at the French Open.
"I still want to be the best player in the world and I still want to do great things around this sport that I chose to play. My attention and focus is always to try and improve any aspect of my game. I'm an optimistic person. I don't want to, you know, use any excuses or anything like that, so my entire focus is on how can we come to solutions, solve certain things. It's a constant puzzle."

French Open 2025: Djokovic saves set point, battles past Moutet to stay on course for record Grand Slam

Three-time champion Novak Djokovic battled past Frenchman Corentin Moutet 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(1) in a match that lasted more than three hours on Thursday, to reach the French Open third round and stay on track for a record-breaking 25th career Grand Slam title. Moutet pushed the 38-year-old, who shares the Slam record with Australia's Margaret Court, especially in the third set where he carved out a set point. 'Mentally you have to be concentrated throughout such a match. Corentin is very quick, he is a fighter, especially in the third set,' Djokovic said in a post-match interview. 'He had set point. At that moment anything could happen but I stayed in the set. At the right time I found a good serve.

It is not one thing but a combination, a formula that evolved with my career. For me now it is important to find the motivation. Obviously motivation now is to make more history.' Moutet broke the Serb, fresh from winning in Geneva last week for his 100th ATP Tour title of his career, early in the first set but Djokovic bounced back with two breaks of his own to snatch it. He was at times troubled by the southpaw who slid, lunged and chased down every ball he could in his trademark style, to try and stay in the game, as the sold-out home crowd in Court Philippe Chatrier fired him on. Djokovic, who looks to have found his form after splitting with coach Andy Murray a few weeks ago, snatched another two breaks to go 5-2 up and bagged the second set on his serve. Moutet, ranked 73rd in the world, managed to break his opponent's serve and go 4-2 up after Djokovic took a medical timeout for treatment on the toes of his left foot. But he gifted it back the very next game before earning a set point at 6-5. Djokovic held firm and secured his third round spot with a commanding tiebreak performance. He will next face either Canada's Denis Shapovalov or Austrian Filip Misolic in round three.
