\nNEW YORK: Key quotes from the fifth day of the US Open at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows on Thursday:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a set and a half I just couldn\u2019t feel well and was dizzy and seeing spots and couldn\u2019t recover. I thought maybe it would pass, but it didn\u2019t. It was abnormal a little bit, and there were no signs in the last couple of days and no signs this morning as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Disappointed third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime after falling to 50th-ranked Karen Khachanov in the second round.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can say is after the first set I started to feel dizzy, kind of close to pass out, to throw up. I didn\u2019t have any energy in the legs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 13th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti after falling in four sets to Australian wild card Dane Sweeny.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing Flavio Cobolli \u2026 sometimes it\u2019s good, sometimes it\u2019s not. Today, I love to be Flavio Cobolli.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Italy\u2019s fifth-seeded Flavio Cobolli after battling back from a set down to reach the US Open third round.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just me, Gael Monfils. I think I have been the same since I came on tour with a lot of joy. I think some people might like me, some not. Some people think I\u2019m fun, some not. Some people think that I entertain them, some maybe not. So I\u2019m all right with everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 France\u2019s 40-year-old Gael Monfils after falling to 20-year-old Learner Tien in his last Grand Slam match before he retires later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I would put it up there like one of the best matches I\u2019ve ever played, but things were definitely clicking for me. I\u00a0would nitpick a lot to come up with anything that I did wrong, because I felt like all the important parts of my game that make me feel like I\u2019m playing good tennis and feel confident \u2014 it was all working for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 American Taylor Fritz after dropping just two games in a three-set second-round victory over Mattia Bellucci.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scoreline, I wasn\u2019t really paying attention too much in the second set but I do think that I was ahead and I kind of let it slip through my fingers. So I was trying to tell myself in the third set \u2018Keep going and keep trying to take the opportunities.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Japanese 13th seed Naomi Osaka, who let a 5-3 lead in the second set get away before beating Katerina Siniakova in three in the second round.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely think it\u2019s cool to have a new demographic and I definitely think it helps grow the sport. But like with anything, any venue you go to, like if you\u2019re being invited to a red carpet, you wouldn\u2019t show up in jeans. I think it\u2019s just follow the etiquette of the sport. That\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014 Coco Gauff on the role of social media influencers at the US Open, where a few have caused disruptions during matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Fritz said everything clicked in his game, boosting his confidence as he beat Mattia Bellucci.
