"When you are playing tournaments like this, with your adrenalin high, you can bear a lot more pain." Gustavo Kuerten explains how he has ignored a long-term hip injury to get to the quarter-finals. "My hands are bleeding...I couldn't play at the end." Marat Safin blames defeat to David Nalbandian on blisters on his hands.
"I'm a little surprised - it's not like this every day. I hope it will be all-Argentine in the semifinal." Nalbandian, after being told four Argentines are in the French Open quarter-finals.
"I think he has more chance than me because I don't think I can get to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and he's already in the quarter-final here." Kuerten with some interesting logic on why Tim Henman will go further than him in Paris.
"It's great, another English-speaking guy in the locker room. There's not many I can talk to." Lleyton Hewitt is delighted Henman is in the quarters.
