Early reaction from the US Open on Wednesday (2nd September).

Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Madison Keys, Defeated Tereza Smitkova 6-1, 6-2 (on playing and winning on Arthur Ashe)

"It was amazing. I don't know if it's because of the roof now, but it didn't seem as big as I thought it was going to feel. It was amazing to play out there.

You know, I thought I played pretty well, so hopefully I can have many more matches on Ashe."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Madison Keys (on being recognised on the street as she gets more well known):

"I have had a couple. I think the funniest one was in LA. A woman recognised me as she was driving and hit her brakes and rolled the window down and screamed out of her window. I think that was probably the funniest encounter I have had. (Laughter.)

Q. What did she say to you?

"She was freaking out and rolling down her window, and I was like freaking out and screaming my name and was like, I love you. I'm like, Okay. Don't crash. Bye. (Laughter.)

Q. How did that make you feel?

"I mean, I think it made me feel good in the sense that I have obviously been doing pretty well for someone to recognize me, but I also thought it was really funny.

SOUNDBITE (English) David Ferrer, Defeated Filip Krajinovic 7-5, 7-5, 7-6 (on his win)

"It was tough, it was tough it was not quick. I think that I had to play better than the first day in this match. But he is not easy Krajinovic. He has good talent and finally I could win so I am happy.:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Feliciano Lopez, Defeated Mardy Fish 2-6, 6-3, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3

(on his win and eliminating Mardy Fish in Fish's last US Open after he came back from anxiety disorder)

"It was very sad. It was very sad what happened to him two years ago when he left the sport all of th sudden. But it was great to see him back this year and he was able to play a few tournaments and he was able to compete again. Obviously the way everything ended today with the cramping was not the best way to finish, but it was great to see him around again."
