French Open quarter-finals: Djokovic v Nadal, Gauff and Trevisan win – live!

Gauff, who will play Martina Trevisan of Italy in the semi-finals, speaks on court: “I feel so happy right now … words can’t explain … Last time I played her, I lost, so I’m glad that today went different … I just told myself to stay in mentally … there are some shots she gets in that no other player would.

“Obviously I believe in myself. Even last year, I think I was too focused on trying to live up to other people’s expectations of me.

“Just enjoy life. No matter how good or how bad my career is, I think I’m a great person, and that’s a message to all young players. Your results, or your job, or how much money you make doesn’t define you as a person. As long as you love yourself, who cares what anyone else thinks?

“Other players get out of sight with life. We think tennis is the most important thing in the world, and it’s not. Getting my high school diploma meant a lot to me.”

Wise, wise words from the 18-year-old. Well done to her.
