Sawt Falasteen - French Open day 11: Who said what

"French fries makes a lot of difference."

-- Daria Kasatkina on her favourite food in Paris which is helping her to the semi-finals.

"Well it's Wednesday, 12 o'clock. I'm not expecting everyone to come and the stadium to be full the first match of the day. So, I mean that's fine."

-- Kasatkina untroubled by seeing rows and rows of empty seats on Court Philippe Chatrier for her clash against Veronika Kudermetova.

"In this era that we are in right now, and as a woman, a former woman's player, I don't feel bad or unfair saying you have more attraction, more attractivity -- can you say that? Appeal? -- for the men's matches."

-- Tournament director Amelie Mauresmo on the decision to only schedule one women's match in 10 night sessions.

"It is a little bit disappointing and surprising. I want my tennis to be entertainment and I remember that I also play for people. Women's tennis has a lot of advantages."

-- World number one Iga Swiatek in response to Mauresmo.

"It's cool that she's honest, but it's up to every player if they want to talk about that or not."

-- Swiatek on China's Zheng Qinwen admitting to menstrual cramps affecting her performance in her fourth round defeat at Roland Garros.

"The fifth set was an incredible battle. Andrey played so well. Today was my day. He just didn't have the luck."

-- Marin Cilic after defeating Andrey Rublev to make the semi-finals for the first time.
