Intro:

Early reaction from Bernard Tomic -- who withdrew from the competition with a left hip injury -- Jelena Janković and Peng Shuai after Friday's matches at the US Open.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bernard Tomic (on his withdrawal from the US Open due to a hip injury):

"I can't afford to get on court with a player like David [Ferrer] and cause much more pain to myself because I'm going to have it stay with him the whole match and for me right now I cannot do that. And who knows, I can potential make it ten times worse. For me it's the best thing to not go on the court today. It's a very difficult decision for me, but I have to do this, you know."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jelena Jankovic:

"Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good. I'm looking forward, you know, to playing and hopefully going far. You know, I'm going one match at a time. My next opponent will be tough. I feel hungry. I want to do well again. You know, I love playing the US Open. I had a lot of deep rounds here. It's my favourite Grand Slam. I love the energy that this tournament has. The surface suits my game. The weather. I enjoy it, you know. I love being here. I would love to do well. So we'll see. I'll try my best."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Peng Shuai:

"I think I always happy to make the second week because when the tournament didn't started yet, because I know I'm not seeded player, so for sure, first or second round I have to face to that. And I didn't thinking like how I gonna do, because you never know because I don't know where the draw gonna put me. So now it's really happy to into the second week. So, yeah, is good."
