“For me, it's a great challenge to play against young Russians, ... With Vera, we never played each other before, but we know each other very well. It was very interesting to play and to see who's coming up and what kind of game she has.” (Murphy Graeme)
“To play at 10 o'clock, that means you have to wake up at 6 and when you go for your warm-up you don't feel fast enough because it's early in the morning, ...

“I don't think I can change anything in my game, ... I feel disappointed with this loss, but at the same time I know how well I can play.

“I am totally against it. I think it will destroy the game. It will slow it down, lose the momentum and the motion of the game. Who was the genius who came up with this stupid idea? They are looking for solutions on how to save the game and this is not it.” (Murphy Graeme)
