"It was a very tight match and at the end there I think I got a little bit tired and I knew she was kind of feeling the same thing so it was just a matter of being out there and really moving my feet and really just enjoying the challenge and, in the end, I came up with the right shots at the right time."

Q. In Davis Cup, I mean, you had a bad impression against Russia?
PAUL‑HENRI MATHIEU: As part of the Davis Cup tie, I mean, physically I was not good. I was tired. And I couldn't go for my shots. And he killed me, and I remember that every match against him was unbelievable. But I produced one of my worst performances. So tomorrow will be a totally different day. That's for sure.
Q. You came here with a great deal of confidence after winning Rome, but still to show the mental toughness you had in the third set today, is that psychologically even more significant for you?
JELENA JANKOVIC: Yeah, it was amazing. I was really staying tough out there. Mentally very strong in the third set, and I was really going for my shots. And I never had in my mind that I'm going to lose the match. I just wanted to go for it. In the second set I was a little bit tired. But in the third set I gave my best, and it paid off.
Q. Were you surprised the way she faded out in the final set?
JELENA JANKOVIC: I don't know. But I was just going for the ball. I was really hitting it, and I was really moving her around. And probably she got tired or something. It's not easy when you have to run from side‑to‑side. And she hits the ball hard as well, so...

LOL @ tennis players and their fatigue. ;D Especially the women who only play best of 3 sets. Poor babies. But Jelena Jankovic has the most endurance of any women's tennis player I've ever seen and that pays off for her in 3 set matches.

Bjorkman feels his age at French Open Paris, June 6 The 35-year-old Swede has played in Grand Slams since 1993, and at the French Open since 1994. After a match, when Bjorkman wakes up the next day, he struggles with his aching legs. "(It's) tough, sometimes, to put the socks on," Bjorkman said after losing to Carlos Moya in the fourth round on Monday. Had he beaten Moya, Bjorkman would have been the third man aged over 35 to make the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. "When you're 25, you probably could play every day, four hours a day or six hours a day. At 35, you've got to be smarter and try to save energy," said Bjorkman.

Now I need to know who the other two are. I know Pancho did. I'll assume Rosewall is the other.

"It's not much time, but two days out of everything, tennis, that's important for refresh the mind. And I am tired. Not right now. I was tired in Hamburg, because every day the concentration, five weeks in a row. So it's not easy every day thinking about the match, doing everything, thinking about the match. So it's not easy, no.
But well, after that tournament, after this tournament, I'm going to change the place. That's important, too. Because you're fresh a little bit. You have to improve another surface. And I am not tired about playing on clay, but when you change the surface, always it's a little bit different. You change a lot of the things, and you think about your game on that surface, and that can help that for tired, no?

"I wasn't all that tired. It has nothing to do with my being tired." -- G. Canas
"I was not tired, like Canas. And I was thinking Canas was more stronger. But, in the match, I see he was already tired, losing power. And I was feeling great and can hit balls in the second and third sets. . .just try to stay on concentration and attack. And I see Canas running, running, like right, left and tired more and more." -- N.Davydenko

Q. We can see that you are very excited and beautiful as ever. And we would like to know also, if you always talk like that. You always talk like you are overexcited, without breathing, or, when you talk to your mother, do you relax a little bit more when you talk to your friends? ANA IVANOVIC: Yes, I do. But it's -- everything went so fast. And obviously, after a match, I had a little bit time to stretch and to relax and to, yeah, to cool down. But yeah, it's very exciting times for me. And I won a lot of matches lately, so it's a great motivation, great excitement. So it's a little bit hard to calm down. But probably later today, I'll be very tired from that.

I can't believe these tennis journalists with their interviews of women's tennis players. Some of their questions and comments are so dumb. What does Ivanovic's beauty have to do with anything?

True. To a certain point anyway. But it's still embarrassing to hear a professional tennis journalist start a question to Ivanovic talking about her beauty. Men's tennis players don't have to put up with this nearly as much as women tennis players do.
