Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Ana Ivanovic, defeated Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-2:
(Q. What did this win mean to you?)
"Obviously I'm very, very thrilled to be in the first semi-finals since 2008. It's been a long road and hard work. Today was very, very tough match, even though the score doesn't indicate that. It was tough conditions and it was obviously for both of us but very, very gusty. I really tried to just execute my game plan and tried to move more, because in the windy conditions that's what you have to do. I was very happy I managed to do that so well and put pressure on her."
SOUNDBITE (English) Lucie Safarova, defeated Garbine Muguruza 7-6, 6-3:
(Q. What about the semi-finals with Ana? How do you feel about that?)
"Feels pretty amazing. It's still coming. I didn't digest it yet. First time in semis here in Paris. I experience it only once in Wimbledon last year, so, yeah, it's nice to be here so far."
