Siegemund enjoys mid-match meal at Roland Garros

At Roland Garros, Laura Siegemund is into her first career Grand Slam quarterfinal. She got there by way of a 7-5, 6-2 win over Paula Badosa on Monday, complete with a mid-match meal.

Though the German's tennis was obviously excellent, her use of a fork during Badosa's medical timeout at 6-5, 2-1 drew a lot of attention. She retrieved a bowl from her team as Badosa stretched out for treatment on her back.

"Well, if you guys prefer to talk about the food I was eating rather than tennis, that's OK. That's cool with me," she told press. "I was trying to get some carbs in. I tried the bar. Couldn't get it down really. I tried. So I asked my physio to bring me something else. I just wanted to get some carb, some potato or rice, whatever.

"You have to listen to the body. The body kind of tells you what you need."

She took just a few quick bites, and yet the cameras didn't miss it.

"There are cameras everywhere and you cannot say anything without anybody noticing it," she said. "It's fine."

The 32-year-old German knew exactly what she needed to get through that round of 16 match, and she gets to take on two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova next.
