New York (AFP) - Who said what at the US Open on Wednesday, the third day of the 2022 championships at Flushing Meadows:

"I don't have anything to prove, I don't have anything to win and I have nothing to lose.I have had an 'X' on my back since 1999."

-- Serena Williams after making the third round with a three-set victory over Anett Kontaveit.

"I just got lighter.Use your imagination.But it wasn't number two, so.."

-- Serena after being asked how she composed herself during a bathroom break before the final set on Wednesday.

"It was a privilege to watch greatness.Congrats.@serenawilliams."

-- Tiger Woods who was in Serena's players box

"I'm a heavy asthmatic.When I'm running side to side, I'm struggling to breathe, probably not something I want to be breathing in in between points."

-- Nick Kyrgios after complaining fans were smoking marijuana when he was playing on Louis Armstrong Court.

"I'm a good-looking guy, I guess."

-- China's Wu Yibing on his popularity on social media after making the third round.

"His next album!No.I mean, I saw him first time in Indian Wells.It was last year.Surprised me, because he was following me, and he said, I love you, you're the sneaky player.I love how you play."

-- Ons Jabeur on what she and British singer Seal chatted about when they met at the US Open.

"I always feel like I have a tank.Even if you're not playing, you're using your gas because you have to come back and get stronger."

-- Matteo Berrettini on coming back from hand surgery which kept him out of the French Open and then Wimbledon due to Covid.
