French Open day 2: Who's saying what

SPORTS 27.05.2024

Who's saying what on the second day of the French Open at Roland Garros on Monday:

Text size:

"Welcome back my super hero."

-- Banner carried by a fan from China who came to Paris to watch Rafael Nadal.

"He managed to turn around some matches that it seemed impossible to turn around. This basically really inspired me. But also how he is off the court, he's really humble and really focused on the work. It seems that success didn't change him."

-- Women's world number one Iga Swiatek on her admiration of Nadal.

"A lot of meditation, a lot of breathing exercises. I chose this path intentionally, and I try to give the best image possible of myself to be a leading figure for the young people."

-- Tunisia's Ons Jabeur on being a role model in the Arab world.

"It was getting darker and darker and I would ask the referee, what's going on. He's like, they didn't even tell me. So that was kind of weird."

-- Jabeur on waiting for the roof to be closed on Court Philippe Chatrier in her win over Sachia Vickery.
