  • Intro:

    Grigor Dimitrov and Gaël Monfils react after Monfils' 7-5 7-6 (8-6) 7-5 defeat of Dimitrov in the US Open fourth round.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Gael Monfils:

    "Well, to put me in quarter-final, I guess. I think I always play good, always played solid. You know, sometime just didn't happen, you know. I remember here played a good fourth round against Rafa [Nadal], but he just was better than me. You know, I always have tough battle here or at the French [Open]. For me, I'm just happy because today I was a bit lucky. It's one point, it's two points, and today I think I was able to have more luck than him."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Grigor Dimitrov:

    "I'm 23, but I don't want to think that I'm young or something like that. I want to win majors. That's my main goal. I'm not satisfied with my results so far, even though I have done probably -- I have come into my best year of my tennis year. I'm not even close to being satisfied. I think that's one of the nicest things that I feel about it, is that I have that hunger to actually become better every tournament I play, even though I have lost quite a few tough matches this year. I'm pissed, you know. I'm just not happy with that. I know I can do better. Today was proof of that. I'm not going to hide my disappointment. I came out there, poor match, so I've got to take it. I have to accept it and move forward. Five tournaments till the end of the year. I'm going to give it all."
