Press Conference

O. JABEUR/O. Danilovic

4-6, 6-4, 4-1

THE MODERATOR: Olga, can you sum up your fantastic Roland Garros this year?

OLGA DANILOVIC: Yes. Where to start? First, I want to say that I am so proud of myself in this moment even though it hurts a little bit now, but I had a great run here. I had great matches. I fought so hard all the days, today as well.

I'm so proud of my team, people around me. I think we've been through some tough times, but now it's a nice feeling. I don't want to get emotional, but I don't know.

I'm just so proud of everyone around me. They believed in me, and they believe in me, and they push me even though I didn't feel like that when I was in a very low moment.

Now I am in a nice moment, and I just want to suck everything in, all the nice feelings, and just go and practice and be better and just do my thing and do what I love because I love this sport.

THE MODERATOR: English questions, please.

Q. I have a specific question. In a way it's not especially on your game. It's on the women night session of tomorrow. I wanted to know your opinion about that because you know some people sell back the tickets because they wanted to see a men's game. So is it something that could --

OLGA DANILOVIC: I don't know what happened, but I --

Q. You could be disappointed about that?

OLGA DANILOVIC: I think it's stupid. That's it. I'm just going to say it's stupid.

Okay, I understand maybe some things, but I think we play great tennis. I think my match was great today, and I think so many matches of women's matches are great.

I think we have such a great top-10 players, top 20, top 100. I mean, just that's my opinion. That's it. I'm not mad. I just say that because I think we play great tennis as well. That's it.

Q. Of course. And just to know, you would find that normal to play maybe one night women, one night men?

OLGA DANILOVIC: Why not?

Q. You would feel important that the women could be at that time?

OLGA DANILOVIC: Why not? Why not? I mean, it's tournament for everyone. It's just, I don't know, we all need to enjoy tennis: men, women. You can prefer watching men. You can prefer watching women, but we all do our thing.

I don't think it's -- I think what they're doing, if they put woman match night session, great. I think it's a very nice time to play.

Playing Grand Slam in Paris, nice weather, very nice people, nice crowd, very nice crowd, I think you cannot ask for more, honestly. That's it.
