Who said what on the 14th day of the 2023 French Open at Roland...

Who said what on the 14th day of the 2023 French Open at Roland Garros on Saturday:

"It's really surreal."

-- Iga Swiatek after her three-set victory in the final over Karolina Muchova

"I'm sorry for that. I don't know what motion caused that. Sorry, I don't want to be disrespectful. It will not happen again again, probably, I just hope I will have another occasion."

-- Swiatek on accidentally dropping the lid of the Suzanne Lenglen trophy at the presentation.

"She hits the ball harder than a man. I told her - you've won three French Opens, I won seven. You're only 22, you're going to go past that. You can go to eight, nine, 10."

-- US legend Chris Evert, who presented the trophy, on what she said to Swiatek on the podium

"It was very close, but very far."

-- Muchova on her agonising defeat in the final to Swiatek. The Czech had been a set and 3-0 down but levelled the final and was twice a break ahead in the decider before the defending champion secured victory.

"Now I'm a little sad but I gave my everything on the court so I have nothing to regret."

-- Muchova

"I was really happy to get the two dreams on the one day -- for the youngest player to be No. 1 in world and to win a Grand Slam title; so two dreams come true today. It's happiest day of my life." 

-- Japan's Tokito Oda, 17, after winning the men's wheelchair title becoming the youngest Grand Slam champion and youngest to take the world number one spot.
