SOUNDBITE (English) Gilbert Ysern, French Open tournament director:
(Q. Do you know how fast the wind was blowing at this time and what sort of caused it to break?)

"We think that actually the wind had something to do with what happened. At this stage we are just conducting an investigation, as you can imagine, so I don't have any precise details to share with you. We just believe that of course it had something to do with the wind. While the wind wasn't that strong, though, so it should not have happened, clearly. "

SOUNDBITE (English)) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, defeated Kei Nishikori 6-1, 6-4, 4-6, 3-6, 6-2:
(Q. How much did the scoreboard metal falling down change the match, do you think?)

"It changed a lot, especially because I think Kei discuss during this time, you know, with his coach, and he came on the court with different purpose. He played a lot better. He gave me a lot of difficulty, you know, to find a solution."
