Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia react to winning the women's doubles at the 2016 French Open in Paris on Sunday (5th June).
SOUNDBITE (French) Caroline Garcia with Kristina Mladenovic, winners of the women's doubles title: (Q. Can you perhaps tell us what's happened? The ocean of emotions when it was match point, what did you feel?)
"We did it. We did it and we fought for it. It has been a difficult week. Each match was complicated, but each time we did better than what we usually do. We did it again today. All the tough moments that you go through during a year, you know, we have a young career, if I can say, and each time we managed to stand out. We were fighting on the court with our team backing us up."
SOUNDBITE (French) Kristina Mladenovic with Caroline Garcia, winners of the women's doubles title: (Q. Is this tournament of the Grand Slam logical to you, given what you did in the past?)
"Winning a Grand Slam, and here in Roland Garros, it's ten steps above everything else. I've gone through these finals, Grand Slam finals for mixed and women's doubles in the past at Wimbledon, but I couldn't really describe the emotions. That is, to win here with Caroline at Roland Garros, it's incredible."
SOUNDBITE (French) Caroline Garcia with Kristina Mladenovic, winners of the women's doubles title: (Q. Singles and doubles together, would you say this is the biggest type of emotion?)
"To win a Grand Slam, in France, with another French player, Kristina, who's someone who I like very much and we have lived incredible things together, is something, which, for the time being, is above anything I have lived before. These are emotions. You know, winning a Grand Slam is something nobody will take away from you in your life. You've won it. Your name will be on the cup forever."
