Intro:

Japan's Kei Nishikori and Serbia's Ana Ivanovic gave their reactions after first round wins at the French Open

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kei Nishikori, defeated Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-3, 7-5, 6-1:

(Q. You had a tough second set. The third one you really shined through. How do you feel playing today? )

"I think it was a solid match. Second set, he started playing much better, he was hitting the ball pretty well, especially his backhand. But, yeah, after that ,I was playing some good tennis on the court, and, you know, I think it's not easy to play three straight sets easy. So, you know, there is some ups and downs, and I think I fight through pretty well. "

SOUNDBITE: (English) Ana Ivannovic, defeated Yaroslavl Shvedova 4-6, 6-2, 6-0:

(Q. What did you do differently to turn that around today?)

"It was a little bit of a tough start. I didn't have many matches coming into the tournament, so I was really happy that I managed in the second set to sort of play a little bit deeper and put a little bit more pressure on her. In the third set I really felt like, okay, I was playing my game. I worked really hard last week and I was really trying to rely on that. I knew I put the work I had to put in, so that gave me confidence, even after first set I really tried to look for my game, and I was really happy to turn it around."
