Darderi on 30 wins this season: "I would say I've played quite well before, and on this surface too. That's why I'm improving a bit now. But I just try to play match by match, tournament by tournament. I like to play a lot. My game has improved significantly. In the last two matches, I dropped a set. But I always continued to believe and fight, and in the end, I managed to win. So I am able to play two and three set matches. Physically I feel good."

Elena Rybakina commented on her loss to Iga Świątek in the final of the Toronto tournament (2:6, 3:6). "I was just very tired. It was clear that my footwork wasn't good enough. There were many unforced errors. I was losing concentration even on simple balls." Rybakina noted that fatigue after three-set matches significantly affected her, but she is pleased with the overall tournament result. "I'm not sure if there's anything that isn't hurting right now. I feel completely shattered. It's very disappointing that I didn't have enough strength in the final match."

Rybakina on the upcoming match against Gauff: "She is a very good fighter. I understand the match will be very tough. For me, it's important now to try to recover. If her serve is working well, returning it will also not be easy. I think the most important thing is to focus on my serve, stay concentrated, take my chances when they come, and play with a lot of energy from the very beginning."

Zverev on Sinner and Alcaraz's absence in Cincinnati: "For me, it practically changes nothing." World No. 3 Alexander Zverev shared his expectations for the Cincinnati Masters. – This year you came here already with a big trophy. How have you changed after winning a Grand Slam tournament? – I don't know if I've changed, but winning a Grand Slam gives you a certain confidence. There's also a sense of satisfaction that comes with it. But that's already a little in the past. I came here to perform well...

Medvedev on his slump: "Before Dubai, I felt even worse, and then I was able to show my best tennis in recent years." Daniil Medvedev spoke about his poor results after the clay-court series of tournaments. "When you constantly lose in the early rounds and, for example, give away your serve six times to Botic [van de Zandschulp] in two sets, it means you are truly in a bit of a slump. But that's the beauty of tennis. I remember that before Dubai, I felt even worse, and then I was able to show my best t..."

Tsitsipas on the upcoming match against Auger-Aliassime: “I have played with Felix before. He has improved a lot. He is a player who consistently stays in the top 10. Felix plays well on all surfaces. He is probably one of the most consistent players of the last two years because he constantly shows up, gets results, and plays consistently. All players have small weaknesses during a match. I must be attentive, focused, and follow my plan.”
