"I'm not really thinking about reaching the quarter-final. I'm more interested in making it to the final." — Andy Murray makes his Wimbledon intentions clear.

"You're calling me a veteran? I'm a veteran at 23 years old. Thanks for making me feel very old. I don't feel good at the moment." — Jelena Jankovic responds to being labelled a veteran by a journalist.

“The answer is simple, we have a big competition between all of us and we're trying to be better, we're trying to improve. It's a really good motivation for every single player. I think it's difficult to improve yourself when you are the only one in your country and you are the best one. So for us it's like it's a fight every week, and you have to prove every single week that you are the best one if you deserve to be in the top."— Elena Dementieva explains why so many female Russian tennis players are doing well.

"For the last few months I'm not reading as often as I used to. Some of the books that I was reading were kind of depressing. It didn't really help my tennis too much. I'm not saying that I'm a better tennis player because I stopped reading; it's just that I'm taking a break for a couple of months."— Janko Tipsarevic reveals why he's stopped reading serious books.

"I think a lot of my frustrations in the past came from poor concentration. I'm spending less time around the courts. I'm spending less time watching tennis on the TV and having more of a life outside tennis, which is what is, for me, making a difference. I'm enjoying myself when I'm on the court now rather than it being a bit of a drag."— Andy Murray discusses his new calmer attitude on court.

"EleVen is my baby. It's not even a year old. We have a funny little shirt. It's like ‘EleVen since '07’. It's really only been out like about eight months, so it's pretty exciting." — Venus Williams on her new clothing range.

"I just didn't want to wear any other brands. I offered to her, I'd be more than happy to play in your clothes if you'd like me, and she was very excited to have me on the team. I really like the clothes. I think it's great. I mean, it's different." — Nadia Petrova explains how she started wearing clothes from Venus Williams’ clothing range.
