What was said at the U.S. Open?
“I know that I can compete against the best players. I know I can beat the best players. But I also know that to win a tournament, you need to win five, six, seven matches in a row, and that’s where sometimes it gets a little hard. That’s something that my body has struggled with this year.” — Caroline Wozniacki, 34, after losing in the fourth round to Haddad Maia.
“Every week, we play. Almost every week, we go somewhere, we practice, we push forward. For me, it was always important to continue pushing, and sometimes it’s not easy. The tougher it becomes in your mind, usually the more matches you lose, the more tournaments you lose in a row.” — Medvedev.
